Learned basic python and understood computing better, so the course was effective in teaching the material, but the lectures were not very engaging, assignments were either very difficult and required help, or really easy. I had a lot of success with student helpers/teacher's assistants; the only reason I did OK in the class was because of them.

Prof Briggs is super duper sweet and very accommodating. She always offers room for questions for better understanding and guides you to resources that might help you understand. I honestly think your success is determined by how much work you're willing to put in and how good a problem solver you are. That being said, I struggled tremendously understanding concepts in this class when it came to implementing what I learned into code, with homework and exams. But it was a learning experience, and I don't regret the challenges.
