Peter Johnson

Honestly a great class to take for J-term. It is really low stakes because you are graded for effort and not for the quality of your work. All you have to do to get an A is show up to class every day and work on course related content during the lab session.

I thought that this course was pretty difficult, although I think that Pete taught it well. He expected a lot but his lectures were clear and easy to understand. I took this class for my minor and I don;t think I would take it again because I don't think it was very important for practical applications.

Pete is extremely knowlegeable in the space, which can sometimes make lectures a bit overwhelming; but overall, even if you just actively listen, you'll be able to pick up a lot, which will benefit you on exams and projects. There are typically two major projects, quizzes, homework assignments and quizzes. All of which are complete/incomplete and you have multiple chances on all except exams. There is ample opportunity to get the necessary points on exams though, but they are difficult.
