This class is very mixed, the first half of the class felt very front loaded with work and was extremely difficult to catch up if you fall back or get sick. I would say however that this class gets better in the second half once you get a group because you get to use the assignments from the first half of the course as a base for the project and presentation that you show at the end. At first I would have said that I disliked the class but with a good group it can be extremely interesting. At the very least I do recommend taking it for the experience of learning javascript.

Overall, I had a positive experience in this class. This class has Linderman-style grading and resubmission policies, meaning you have to earn a certain number of learning targets on exams and can resubmit assignments as often as you want until the end of the semester. As long as you stay on top of your practicals and programming assignments, the class is very doable. I personally like Laura a lot, she is accommodating and knows very well about what she teaches.

This course is hard. Plain and simple. The class is extremely fast-paced and as soon as you fall behind, it is really hard to get back to speed. Most of the learning is by yourself which is honestly the worst way to run a class but that's a rant for a separate time.
