Course material is not that hard, but final exam has a lot of questions to be completed in a short time so its not easy to score good. Competition is very high in this course so curve is also quite high. Weekly assignments but they don't take that much time. You can do well if you practice a lot.

course is interesting, but midterm and exam are extremely fucking hard, profs are just crazy about the exams, weekly tests on moodle are easy. lowkey thomas is the chillest prof ever, best lectures, you feel that he cares about students and subject in general, sad that he is allowed to make only few questions for exam...
