Prof: Buster Dunsmore / Fall 2024

Basically CS 307 without the lectures and homeworks. Find a good team and an interesting project to work on, and you're set. Grading is fairly lenient - most of the stress from this class comes from actually working on the project which, if you're passionate about it, is more of a fun stress.
I found the class very useful since you get to choose and develop your own project with a team of friends. You can basically choose anything to work on, as long as it's reasonable to complete within the semester.
In this class you don't really interact with the professor - you are assigned a team manager that you direct any questions or concerns to. But most of the class is self-taught, since the concepts you learn are dependent on your project choice.
Take the time to plan out your project deliverables beforehand - having an overarching idea with some details planned out will make the rest of the project go smoothly. Choose your team with care, you'll be working with them for multiple hours a week.
