Professor Gibou makes ME17 a somewhat unique experience. The class is graded by a few homework assignments and take home "exams" which are really just more projects. Some concepts can be hard to grasp but he is happy to answer questions and will help you succeed. Grading was somewhat unpredictable but never overly harsh. Try to attend lecture.

Prof. Gibou is great! He lectures using the blackboard and takes time to write out equations. He basically goes over HW/exam problems during the lectures. The class is super easy if you remember intro linear algebra and know python. My only gripe is that we aren't provided notes/slides/textbook sections as reference.

Homework is based on what is taught in class. Do NOT skip lectures in the last three weeks because the last assignment is MUCH harder than the previous ones. Picky yet unclear grading guidelines for formatting the homework reports, though it's not a big chunk of the grade. Good lecturer.

He is a really nice teacher who seems to enjoy what he is lecturing about. Lectures could be a bit boring if he doesnt have the slides prepared before hand and can take a long time writing. Content isnt too hard once you understand what is going on. Most of the hw is given in his codes he gives to class. Online midterm and final

The majority of this class is a 1/5 in difficulty; the last week is a 5/5, and I did not procrastinate. I was actually ahead. Most of the hw and midterm is very easy, then all of a sudden for the last hw and the final he just goes crazy and makes it far, far harder than anything before in the class. Lectures are boring, and he is hard to hear.

Professor Gibou is a great professor who knows the material well and is always eager to help students as best he can. Class is very homework heavy with midterm and final projects, no exams. Material can be difficult depending on students' prior coding experience but if you work hard to understand it you will both do well and learn the material.
