Robert Patro CMSC701 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/22/2024	Rob is a very nice guy and responds to piazza posts quickly. You have to put a considerable amount of effort into the class. The programming assignments were challenging and took on average 10 hours each, but they're definitely doable if you start early. You can submit infinite number of times to gradescope and have 2 weeks to do it. The final exam was tough but I'm pretty sure there's a generous curve since I bombed it but still ended up with an A. The only negative thing to say is that there's not much help given to study for the final, and the lectures were a bit hard to follow at times, but it might just be because the algorithms taught in the class are tough. Overall, I learnt a lot about bioinformatics algorithms, compiled languages, and how to write code more efficiently in order to pass the tests on gradescope.
