Just boring, unnecessarily difficult, and overall painful taking this class, especially as an engineering major. Nothing from this class will ever be useful to you yet you're expected to memorize all this jargon that should 100% have a formula/cheat sheet but it doesn't. Exams are much more difficult than they should be based on the content you actually learn and are given assignments on.

Prepare to memorize loads of random bullshit for exams.

Mainly just a lot of grinding exam problems and getting the strategies down.

Korolev was great, even though the class is hard, she made it more bearable.

Course content is quite easy with the exception of exam 3. Korolev is a great professor. Workload is not too heavy.

Workload is manageable but overall the course content was difficult; however, Dr. Korolev really shines as a professor when teaching this course. If you have the opportunity to take a class with her, take it. She is an incredibly gifted lecturer and takes the time to make sure everyone understands concepts despite 300+ person lecture halls.
