No exams or quizzes. Workload is pretty light. I didn't need to put that much time into this course aside from the semester long group project. The first project is individual and involves contributing to an open source project. Highly recommend picking one that seems extremely easy because they can get super confusing. Then you have a group project and if you get a good group it shouldn't be too bad. Thankfully there was someone in my group that already had an internship and understood a lot about software engineering because this class alone wouldn't have prepared me enough. There's also a semester long research project which is just an infographic and is really easy.

To be honest I felt like the actual substance of this course wasn't there. It was more about the process of software engineering and not how to actual DO any software engineering. The class/content was organized fine but I don't think it really helped me that much to become a better software engineer. She says it's not a coding class (ie she won't teach you how to code anything) but I think coding demos to put what she was talking about in context would've been helpful.

She had a very positive demeanor and seemed nice. Offers some extra credit as well.
