Grading is fair to generous; it's possible to get an A without attending lectures if you have a good foundation or can self-study effectively.
Workload is moderate but heavy for beginners. Regular assignments take time, and the final exam requires thorough preparation. Attending lectures is not strictly necessary for those with prior experience.

Lectures are useful but can be skipped by students with prior knowledge. Tutorials vary in quality; some find them helpful while others do not attend at all.
