This course is a mixed bag. It's definitely a step down from IMDM101, and a lot more focused on coding. Every class consists of lectures about random topics and demonstrations on Unity/Avalonia that may/may not be helpful for the assignments. I'd recommend taking notes because I found myself slightly distracted in class, and then completely clueless on some assignments. As of Fall 2024, there are only projects, and no exams. The content feels very disorganized, as if it's not even targeted towards us students. Luckily, as someone without much coding experience, a lot of the assignments can be done with other people. For the individual assignments, the TAs and the professor definitely helped with questions. It's just annoying when you have to ask someone for help for nearly EVERY SINGLE ASSIGNMENT! This would've been a different experience if it weren't a 9:30 class. I did get through most of the projects, and when I couldn't finish one perfectly, I still got partial credit. The assignments aren't meant to be time consuming, but they can be if you don't know what you're doing conceptually. Professor, TA, and other students in the class are all open to help you so don't be afraid to ask.

average teacher. he underestimated how hard his assignments were, so he extended the due dates to almost all of them. if anything, it feels like he's still trying to get his footing with how to teach this class. lectures don't relate to the assignments as much as they should. if you don't understand the basics of coding (like logistically), the class will be a bit harder. i came in with little c# experience but the class was manageable.
