Past student reviews · Beck Hasti
Beck Hasti made an effort to meet with students, including during advising hours and beyond, and answered questions. Reviewers described him as humorous and a good teacher who cared about his work, though he could get a bit spacey at times.
Past student reviews · Andrew Kuemmel, Peyman Morteza
Past students described the course as relatively easy with six projects, where strong performance on the first five could waive the final one. Another student noted the structure was clear-cut, requiring an overall score of 80 to pass, and included no exams, with assignments, readings, and labs consolidated on a single page.
