Every professor uses the same set of notes and does the same thing. Personally watched Bret's recordings until halfway through when I swapped to Bi who did lectures better IMO. The class was easy outside of the final.

But Bret was a really good professor. He just read his slide but his slide is really good and makes sense. Weekly projects took abt 3~4 hrs and exams can be hard.

However Bret could of taught it better. He would just read off slides, so I stopped going to lecture and just watched them online. Class was pretty disorganized as well.
