Andrea Vaccari

This class is very hard if you don't have any prior computer science experience. Professor Vaccari is extremely helpful when you need it and the TAs are great. The work was very time consuming and challenging. Tests are also on paper which really didn't work out to my favor.

I genuinely enjoyed taking this course with Prof Andrea, but more because of his personality than his teaching style. He's super passionate about the material he's teaching but doesn't always explain the material in a way that is understandable for someone who has absolutely no experience with computer science. That being said, he is very friendly and is super helpful during office hours so your success in the class depends on how much work you plan to put into it.

This course was not difficult in material itself, and in general lecture was engaging and material was explained well. The labs and exams were tough but not crazy, but the homeworks were insanely difficult, and it took me close to 4-5 hours a week to complete
