Lectures are pretty useful but also really boring so try to find a way to stay awake. Tests are open note (and open laptop) and very easy. Homework is quick and easy if you like MATLAB, otherwise might be long.

Only a five student class so we had no TA for help. Also did not post answers to homework, but homework is only 10% of grade. Midterm was easy. Final was hard and confusing. Can be difficult to study for since you only have your notes to go off of, but they are very thorough. Does grade on a curve.

Homework can be fairly long so start early. Lectures are very helpful as is the textbook. Need to clearly understand how the algorithm codes work to do well on tests.
