come up with your own project first week of class and just work on it till the end of the quarter. Weekly checkins with small tasks that need to be completed and grading was done on completion. Only thing annoying was the daily hw on Agile but it's just busy work. Other than that it's a free A and you get to work on your own project for a quarter

Great professor with clear direction for the class. Structured well and communicates any changes as necessary.

You don't really learn anything new in this course; you just work on a group project for a quarter. Project requirements are minimal, so an A is a breeze. If you have a concrete idea for the next Uber or Duolingo, this is the course for you. Otherwise, you're getting an easy A with a half-baked app that you'll forget about in a week.

Took CS184 before this class and liked that class more simply because this class had so many unnecessary homework assignments. The labs were also longer and more harshly graded. Still a super easy class and fun to create an app in your group. I did prefer making a web app over a mobile app though. Lectures are pretty useless.

Class is basically just working in your group the entire time because you don't really learn anything new. You take full control of your project and do anything but there is no way to keep accountability.Only issue is assignments were never graded until the end of the quarter so you don't know your grade. Super easy class and great for your resume.

If you've only taken 156 with Conrad you might not realize that project classes are generally very easy to get an A in. I think Hollerer does a very good job of making the course flexible so you can do the bare minimum or put more effort into your project if there's a specific framework you're interested in learning etc...
