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.
Phil is a really nice guy, and he is very enthusiastic in teaching. However, the flipped learning for the course was hard to adjust to. He would give readings for an online textbook and YouTube videos for us to do warm ups that he would go over the next day. I would've preferred actual class instruction rather than going over the warm ups.
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.
