Quantum computing is a very interesting topic and Prof Kimmel made it accessible to those without too much physics or math background, although it does help. Prof Kimmel does non-graded assignments and exams, so at the end of the course you will essentially decide a grade for yourself. That being said, you must have evidence that you understand the content through homework assignments and exams in order to get a good grade.

Professor Kimmel is a great teacher and she makes the material interesting. The main issue I have with the class is the no deadlines policy. I'm sure it works for some people, and I do think professors should be flexible with deadlines, but I know that A LOT of people are constantly playing catch up because the amount of homework she assigns is kind of ridiculous and the no deadlines makes it easy to fall behind. The course is also really fast paced, and you are always working with lots of different types of algorithms in the same problem set which is not the way that I personally would have set it up because I feel like I'm getting a more surface level understanding of all of them instead of a deeper understanding of potentially less of them. I think that if you are interested in this course, just be prepared for the workload and how easy it is to fall behind.

Professor Kimmel is a great professor to take this class with. While the material can be challenging at times, Professor Kimmel does a good job of explaining concepts and her grading system allows for multiple revisions on each assignment. Homework is all completion based and exams, quizzes, and programming assignments can be corrected for full credit, putting an emphasis on understanding the material over getting a higher score.
