Summary:

The respondents in general found this course to be Good to Very good. Most students rated the difficulty as being Difficult. Overall the respondents said that the work load was OK, with a few selecting Large/Too Large. The quality and relevance of lectures is generally rated as Good.

The respondents were positive to the course from the viewpoint of relevance, and for the most part positive in regards to the course presentation. However some were critical of the pre-code used in the mandatory assignments. Also the general view seemed to be that the course was challenging, but not unmanageable.

Quotes:

We could have been given more information for each assignment. Princeton gets a lot more info so we had to look at their assignments to get a better understanding on what to do.

Many things about this course were really annoying and frustrating, and in a way I feel sort of ‘violated’. Despite this, I can say from the bottom of my heart that if you have the chance to take this course, consider yourself a programmer, and is not a dead-weight slacker, you’d be a complete idiot not to sign up for this course. The pros heavily outweigh the cons.
