Overall course is ok, just do the assignments. Prepare for the midterm. Exam could be hard considering the amount of time given. DON'T choose Wei Luo, 96% yapping, 3% helpful info, 1% argues why CTO should get less than 30% of company.

Workload is pretty good with weekly assignments that only have 2 or 3 questions, a group project, and a 30% midterm. Midterm difficulty can vary depending on the professor but the curve is good. Final is a bit tricky as there's not enough time given to complete. Overall though, I'd say it's a pretty easy course if you just pay attention to whatever is going on.

Overall not a difficult course, weekly assignments, attendance once a week in class and tutorials. Exam questions can be tricky but as long as you practice enough you should be fine

I like this course. Pretty easy, easy workload as well. I had mr Paskar as my tutor - really great! Just make sure you act understand the concepts and make sure you can write fast. Also know the shortcuts or exact things that you can or cannot write during the exam.
