This review does not apply to Cliff, but to Mims and Amrit. As with all STIC courses. You pretty much get what you put into. The course comprises of Projects, a midterm (which has multiple attempts), and a final project (Attendance is Extra Credit 7% Total). Projects are all done in MC and submitted to gradescope, which is pretty cool. The projects are pretty easy, and are essentially just following circuit diagrams. The content itself revolves around building a fully functioning Computer In Minecraft, and all the Projects build up to this. You can get a 100 in this course without understanding the content deeply, and in hindsight I regret not putting more effort into the course, cause I think what they taught was interesting. Mims and Amrit are good TAs and very likeable, I thought they did great.

Jason doesn't teach this course. Just supervises the student instructors, who are good.
