Homeworks can take a long time to do and are ojectively graded harshly. The TA was a jerk and not helpful. The semester project requires coding knowledge so get someone in your group who knows how to code because the class doesnt teach you any coding. Do the best you can on the project so your group doesnt screw you over in the final group evaluation.

very interesting and enjoyable class

Class was pretty easy, just don't get yourself screwed over with your group, because they might not rate you as a good group member. Work entire semester on a project that you present at the end of the class.

Prof Gerling is new to UVA, great professor, really cares

Though the class was fairly easy, centering around a group project that made the majority of the grade, the professors did not grade accordingly. I did the majority of the work for my group's project and expressed this to the professors who assured me that my grade would reflect the time and effort put into the project. However, this was not the case. To put it bluntly, I got shafted.

Didn't learn much. Only have a couple of homeworks throughout the semester. Never went to lecture. Lectures were useless. There is only a final presentation, no tests.

This class mostly focused on a major project, with homework assignments here and there. I found it to be very interesting and pretty easy. So long as you get a good, motivated group and pick a halfway decent project, this class is no problem.

Class has good potential. Not as organized as it could have been and too much of the grade was determined by how well you could write/understand vague directions. Though the professors were more or less new at teaching the class and seem willing to change to make it better in the future. No tests. Just HW every once in a while and a semester long project.
