DS 120
Quality 3/5Difficulty 1/5
Esther is definitely a good teacher, the content of DS120 is just so boring that it doesn't help her. Her voice is very soft, and combined with the lecture content and 8:50 class time, it's a bit hard to stay awake. Three pretty easy projects and weekly quizzes on the lecture content, not too bad, but a good amount of work for a 100 level class.
