Andrej Rasevic CMSC388A Expecting an A Anonymous 01/17/2025	The class is very unorganized. He has had trouble uploading lecture videos to Panopto, so by the time each exercise or project is released, you often don’t have access to the videos explaining the concepts necessary to complete the coursework. I found myself learning all of the course content from the lecture slides and code examples that were posted in advance each week via git, so I can’t speak to the teaching quality of the videos that were posted. On the bright side, Andrej is very active on Piazza, responsive to students’ questions about project requirements, and quickly communicates technical issues related to the class or project deadline extensions as they occur. If you have prior experience with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (for 388A) or JavaScript, Node.js, and REST API development (for 388B), I recommend taking this class. The content should not be difficult, the slides and code examples are thorough enough to learn everything on your own, and the exercises and projects are very useful/practical with clearly documented requirements. If you don’t have prior experience and want to learn the content from scratch, I recommend taking the classes with a different professor.
