It is the pace of a 3 cred class that only lasts a third of the semester (hence why its 1 cred), which I wasn't aware of until taking it so I was a little overwhelmed with my workload. But overall its easy and teachable to yourself w/o lectures",

For being a 1 credit class, definitely takes a lot of time/effort. I recommend a different professor, if possible. This course is definitely doable with him, as long as you can self-teach/spend lots of time.",
