Lectures at the beginning of the semester were organized well and taught useful quantum concepts, but became a little convoluted and too theoretical by the end. Lecture notes followed suit by becoming incredibly word + concept heavy when reaching the last few concepts of the course. The general course layout wasn't too bad but having a 40% final is EXTREMELY stressful, and the project that stood in for two problem sets had little instruction towards completion (although graded reasonably).
