No, he won't lecture, instead he will assign 1-2 hour long pre-lectures and use lecture as time for in-class assignments. Is the structure of the course laid out clearly in the syllabus? No, the syllabus is the most vague I've seen in my three years at UW. ",

    "comment": "Tilmann clearly knows his stuff, but fails to understand that students usually don't. He assigns copious amounts of prelecture material, and expects you to watch his past lectures before attending actual lecture which cover the exact same material. However, you can't skip lecture due to random attendance quizzes. Also, 90% of your grade is 4 exams.",
