Dr. Tootalian is an amazing professor who truly wants you to succeed. His class is super easy and he gives great feedback. He has many office hours and even reaches out to students to inform them of upcoming projects or office hour changes. This class involves a lot of group projects (which you do NOT get to pick) but they aren't bad.

Jacob was one of the best TA's I have had. He was extremely nice and helpful and he was willing to meet outside of office hours to help me. Take him if you need a TA!

I had a good time in this course, and the teacher was cool. I got the feeling some people in the class did not like their ideas being challenged, jsut wanted to be told that they were right. That was annoying.
