The course is pretty difficult at first. I failed the first midterm, and the midterm average was about 40%.
However, I think the material just takes some time to digest. After the first midterm, things started to click, and I think this was true for the rest of the class too since the second midterm average was closer to 80%.
The assignments can take a few hours each. The first two assignments are significantly longer than the last three. Also, we were allowed to work in pairs.
The course material itself is not too useful imo. It's been two years since I've taken the course, and I've never revisited the material since then.
Overall, I'd say decent course if you're just looking for CPSC 3xx credits. Otherwise, I'd suggest taking other courses.
