Didn't know what to expect going into the course but I've had a great experience so far. Agent based modeling is completely different from any other CS class I've taken. Really interesting assignments and class is more discussion based. Would take again.

The course material picks up pretty fast. I enjoyed lecture since professor Dickerson had us get into groups a lot to do practice problems and discussion questions throughout class. Some material, especially later in the semester is pretty difficult to understand but Dickerson did a good job trying to break things down for us. Some homework problem sets can be difficult but office hours were helpful. Exams were fair, he scaled them all.

The programming is actually pretty fun but the professor made it much more difficult. Very little instruction, clarity, or assistance available if you have any difficulty. Even the TA's were rarely provided with the necessary tools to help us out.
