Quality 4/5Difficulty 2/5
I would recommend taking Jason's class for 305. Lectures/slides were pretty dense and not always the most entertaining, but we covered lots of important topics and were tested on what we learned in class. 3 exams and 6 homework canvas quizzes made up our entire grade. Go to class, take good notes, and study- a good grade is very attainable.
