Aman is fantastic but this course sucks your soul out. I hated it. Exams were extremely difficult and the only study recommendations are to review everything. So you basically have to know everything really well.

Love him. He is super helpful and kind. But his exams can be cruel.

Content wise, one of the most important classes a CS student will take. Overall challenging but very fair.

The first half is the hardest, definitely make time to study for the midterm because it covers a lot and makes up a solid chunk of your grade. The three projects are all over the place in terms of difficulty, with the first project being the hardest and by far the longest. Second project took about a day. Third project is a group assignment with no checkpoints before the deadline, so pick a team you trust.

Great communicator, uses visual demonstrations in class to convey challenging concepts.

You are allowed a handwritten note sheet for quizzes and exams, make full use of this. Take the extra credit when offered.

Not an easy course but should be fine as long as you give it ample time/attention.

Very applicable content for CS technical interviews and CS theory in general.

Very good professor. Nice and understanding, good lecturer, makes tough concepts a bit easier to understand.

The time requirement and importance of starting early.

Heavy course load and difficult subject matter, this course is a requirement for CS so come prepared.

Weekly: conceptual quiz, programming quiz. Exams: 2 exams mostly conceptual questions and three pseudocode questions. Projects: 3 projects, first is the hardest.

Amazing professor, lectures are clear and engaging. Professor Kapur is very active on slack and answers questions promptly, even on weekends.

Set aside alot of time for this class
