Students who took this class found the course material to be highly useful for their course of study and applicable to a range of practical scenarios. Many students, however, found that the professor and the curriculum presumed familiarity with programming, coding, and math skills that are not listed among the prerequisites. Students were unclear as to their expectations from week to week, and suggested that a more structured syllabus and presentation of material would have been helpful. Prospective students should have working familiarity with calculus and linear algebra, as well as some prior experience programming and working with code, and be prepared to do some self-learning if material is unfamiliar.
