In-class exercises are of a similar difficulty, and his lectures don't go over anything past the basic principles and applications. At least he was very enthusiastic about the topics and quite helpful during class time answering any questions.",

    "comment": "Class was pretty well organized and taught under Kats. His lectures give a good example or two and thus are useful, but the variation in their length (20 to 70 minutes) can be frustrating since there are 3 a week and he is sometimes late to posting them. Very accessible & helpful during the in-class exercises, however. Very kind and wants to help!",

You have to show up to work on small assignments every day, and most days you can leave class after around 15 minutes. There is weekly homework and lecture videos and some quizzes.",
