Introduction to data structures and algorithms

Grading is generally generous, especially for the final exam, with many students mentioning that they were able to achieve high grades despite average performance on midterms and assignments.

The course has a moderate to heavy workload, with significant time required for assignments and preparation for the final exam. Midterm exams are manageable but can be challenging, while the final is more difficult and time-consuming.

Assessment includes individual assignments (worth about half of the grade), midterms (counting as part of the overall grade), and a heavy final exam that accounts for the remaining portion. Quizzes or other minor assessments are not mentioned frequently.

Teaching quality varies among professors, with some students finding Ben's lectures engaging and clear, while others find Hubert's class more challenging but still manageable. Overall, multiple professors are involved in grading, which can affect final grades significantly.

Multiple students recommend attending all classes and Q&A sessions, especially for the final exam preparation. It is also suggested to practice past papers and focus on understanding concepts rather than just memorizing them.
