Class wan't terrible but the group project is god awful. You get assigned randomly for a group project worth almost 30% of your grade. The TA pretty much runs the class and he goes along for whatever the TA says. Grading expectations are vague and the test questions are worded in a very confusing way. Honestly it was such a boring class.Rate My Professors ↗
