About this rating

Raw average: 4.00/5 from 3 quality ratings. The adjusted rating blends this with the UW review average (3.66/5), weighted as 20 additional ratings. Smaller samples stay closer to that average. Each captured review is counted once in the prior; this does not correct who chooses to leave a review.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
Prof Craven's course offering is like CMU's 10-601, which is accommodating of students who lack a strong math background, but can pick up stuff along the way. The course is mostly theoretical, although programming assignments cover around 60% of the grade. The course content is excellent. The course slides make tough concepts easy to understand.
