This course had interesting and informative lectures, a relaxed and effective instructor, and a small class size as some of the highlights. Both the instructor and TA were wil ing to help with any question students had. The material at the start of the semester is a bit boring, but the material at the end of the semester was very exciting. The course includes a good deal of work, lectures were confusing, and the exams were difficult. More session notes and a clarified grading system would improve the course. Prospective students should know that the course involves difficult work, but the information is interesting and intellectually stimulating.
