ISYE 320
Quality 1/5Difficulty 4/5
Prof. Xie is sweet, but not a great professor. Her lectures are not amazing, and cover a lot of material that may or may not be on the exam. The homework is incredibly difficult, as we do no related examples in class or lab, and our professor and TA are not great at helping. We are expected to know a lot of information prior to the course.
