CollegeLots of busywork. Lectures and the quarter-long project are just based on common sense. TA grading is all over the place. The final exam had far more questions than it should've had. I gained nothing from this course.
Fairly easy homework, but grading is slightly unclear. In order to do well try to follow the syllabus exactly, other than that its easy. Important to choose teammates who will participate and do work in the class. The final is definitely harder than expected, be prepared to rush through the test, as there are a lot of long writing questions.
This class is so pointless and such a waste of time. It's simply just busy work and unrealistic expectations. Not a hard class but so disorganized and simply boring.
The class had unclear expectations, making it hard to know how to succeed. TA grading felt harsh and inconsistent, and assignments were very subjective, leading to lost points. The course was disorganized, and the final was especially difficult. Overall, effort didn't always translate into fair results.
Sra is fine, and this class is very easy but you'll be at the mercy of your TA's grading. It's a design class based around group work, so be prepared to lose 10% on an assignment because your TA didn't like where one of your teammates placed a button. The workload is pretty light, but so is the educational value. 90% of the content is common sense.
Class comprised of designing an app in your group in a final. Class is all about design yet all the material in the class is linked through multiple levels of Google Docs and submenus, steering task much? Lectures are useless just cram everything before the final. Final is relatively easy just have to memorize everything but it was really long.
