Michael Marsh CMSC388J Expecting an A Anonymous 05/09/2023	Flask is a cool framework, but this class just is really poorly taught. I think the TAs are decent with responding to Piazza posts, grading leniently, and helping with projects, but many of the slides/examples are really hard to follow and actually apply to the projects. The projects (except project #1 which is a Python primer) are also really poorly explained and should be revamped. The descriptions within the README are very vague and very hard to understand. Most of this class is just searching stuff up and reading documentation and trying stuff until you give up. The final project is also quite lengthy, especially for a 1 credit class and we are expected to utilize different Python packages and create a new project which towards finals season is a timesink. I would be okay if we were getting 2 credits at least, but yeah this class is not worth it for 1 credit. Too much of a workload and very few resources provided.
