Overview
Feedback is mixed. The clearest upside is that some students still find real value in the course. Best for students who are genuinely interested in the topic and willing to engage with the course on its own terms. The sample is still thin, so treat this as directional rather than definitive.

Student Reports
How hard is the A?
Thin A-grade signal
There is not much direct comment evidence on how hard it is to get an A, so this is still a weak signal rather than a firm read.
Homework Load
Thin homework signal
Comments do not give a sharp homework-load signal, so this mostly falls back to the aggregate workload data.
Lecture Load
Thin lecture signal
There is not much direct evidence on lecture load, so this remains a weak read rather than a strong course-wide claim.
