Prof Sra is very knowledgable in this field. Her lectures are usually a mix of industry design standards/conventions and how they relate to your group projects. Sometimes she brings up interesting topics for discussion, which students are encouraged to contribute to. Contents are interesting for an intro to HCI class with hands-on projects.

AWESOME PROFESSOR

Good professor that knows what they are talking about. The class structure is reliant on group work. It's fun, but also really dependent on how well your group members are. It would be nice if the professor had some independent work to grade so our final result was not based on other student's efforts.

Pretty low-stakes class. More help with unity development for the project would be good, but the TAs are very helpful. There should either be more incentive to learn the lecture material (ie exams/quizzes) or it should be cut out entirely because I hear the content is pretty similar to 185 anyways. It's not clear how the projects will be graded.

Least favorite class and Professor. Lecture has no CS relevancy. She makes you teach yourself how to do the projects and assignments. Worst part is the grading criteria - super unclear, get marked tens of points with no explanation, making it impossible to guarantee a good grade no matter how hard you work.
