Some of the concepts are abstract and hard to grasp. People were very concerned with getting questions answered during discussion. The presentations in discussion were unnecessary.",

Doug on some occasions has great lectures, and other times they're disorganized.  The exams are decently challenging if you don't know how to approach them right.  The material overall is very interesting though, so i'd recommend it.",
