The project worth 40% of your grade will have no rubric and incredibly vague instructions that he will not clarify but will still hold you to. Bro didn't even put the project grades or the final exam grades on canvas so I don't even know how I scored. Dont take this class",

Not much workload for the whole semester, and if you understand the concept in the lecture it is not too bad. I wouldn't say highly recommend this class, but if you really want to take it it's still doable.",
