Lectures are not helpful at all and to succeed all you need is good pattern recognition instead of learning the actual information. Homeworks are the only basis for actual learning, it felt more like an online course than an in person one. ",

However, getting the knowledge to do the homework is very difficult even if you go to Wadle's lectures. His slides are confusing and he rarely does any actual problem solving in the class. ",

He also (almost) always finishes class early to give students time to ask questions afterward. Just taking good notes during lecture has lead me to learn a lot. 10/10",

Lectures videos are granted access based on request, which is the funniest part. PPT notes are useful but messy. Just be ready to self learn everything.",
