Overview
Feedback leans negative. The main complaint is that the ratings are soft even if the comments do not converge on one neat complaint. Best for students who can handle a demanding pace without needing constant hand-holding.

Student Reports
How hard is the A?
A is doable but not automatic
The signal here is more do-the-work-and-you-should-be-fine than easy-A chatter. Students do not describe the A as automatic, but the evidence also does not paint grading as punishing.
Homework Load
Moderate homework load
Homework load looks moderate. The recurring signal is steady weekly work, but not a course that turns every assignment into a grind.
Lecture Load
Regular lecture load
Lectures matter here, but the evidence points to a fairly standard lecture burden rather than a course dominated by long or exceptionally dense lectures.
Strengths
• There is some positive signal here, but it is not concentrated around one dominant strength.
Tradeoffs
• The numeric ratings are soft even if the comments do not converge on one dominant complaint.
Best fit for
Best for students who can handle a demanding pace without needing constant hand-holding.
Watch out for
• A large share of the evidence comes from one instructor's version of the course, so this may not generalize cleanly.

For the first time, I actually feel like I understood probability from a theoretical perspective and the relationship between probability and calculus.

Probability
Fall 2023 · Trivedi, Kishor
I learned nothing from this course. The course intends to focus on probability and how this probability can be woven into computer engineering problems; however, the course blends everything and does not highlight what we need to solve the problems in the future.
