This course was pretty easy, but extremely useful. It has been one of my favorite classes in the program.

Make sure to follow requirements. The grading can be rough. I missed one little thing on one of the assignments and got an F. I still made it out with an A.

easy class.

This class is the platonic ideal of an easy course. The explorations are short, but I also felt like I learned a lot. The instructor cares about doing a good job, and materials are well organized and written.

Enjoyed this a bit more than 361, you do some unit testing in python, creating test suites, mess around with git, learn about different types of testing and finally doing some testing as a group with shared repos on GitHub. End up doing pull requests and code reviews. Similar to 361, this class but expanded could be a really cool course. As it stands it isn't that bad, but still is going to be looked at as a filler class until something changes, if it ever does.

This is a great class. Important topics focusing on git, reading other peoples code, working with a codebase in parallel with other developers and code reviews. The unit testing is pretty good too, something that you don't do a lot of outside of this class in this program. A lot of these skills are really pertinent to actual work in the field. Reading other peoples code, working on a git with multiple contributors, testing your code (and other peoples) all are important in the work place. The actual work in the class is really light and easy, and often each week's material can be completed in a single day. I guess make your group early and make sure everyone is on the same page as far as who does what, committing, and reviewing commits. Don't leave it for the last day. Very easy class but really good stuff.

Put in the effort on the assignments. There are very few points, the assignments are not very difficult, but losing points on the assignments doesn't put you in a great place for the final which is a decent chunk of the grade.

Be careful! Yes, what you've no doubt heard is true, this class has a below average workload. The subject material is also pretty easy to absorb. However, don't let it lull you to sleep. There are very few total points you are able to earn in this class. As a result, a loss of a few points here and there can have a significant impact on your overall grade. This combined with relatively tedious grading criteria and a few pass/fail constraints on some assignments means you need to be careful!

Finding the bugs in the first couple of assignments was actually really fun! Overall, this course might be one of the most useful in the program for your professional career, but it could definitely go more in depth.
