Course summary
COMP3251 is generally seen as an approachable course with fair grading but can be challenging due to a wide skill gap among students. It’s recommended for those who need a good grade and are willing to put in the effort, especially if they have a strong foundation in algorithms.
Grading is described as generous by some, particularly with final exams being curved, making an A range achievable despite difficult midterms.
The workload is considered fair but can be heavy due to the large class size and challenging assignments. Students spend around 10-12 hours per week on the course.
Assessments include a midterm, final exam, homework, and possibly quizzes. The final exam has a slight challenge with five questions where only four need to be answered.
The professor is highly praised for clear explanations, logical lectures, and generous grading. However, some students find the midterms difficult and the TAs slow.
Students recommend attending office hours and seeking help from TAs early on due to the challenging nature of the course and wide skill gap among peers.
