Lots 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.

This course is an irony. The course is organized on a google doc... while teaching about good design principles and well-designed applications. The grading is unnecessarily difficult for a course that teaches so much about logical/systematic ideas. The TAs are not helpful either, taking off points with no explanation whatsoever.

You will learn nothing and you will be very happy. Terrible class.

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.
