This course needs more detail. The class consists of in-person lectures, weekly class assignments that are done together in a class, three major take-home assignments, and three larger project assignments that follow a similar style to the homework assignments. The issue with this course is that there isn't really a clear direction in which it wants to go. The lecture slides aren't very helpful, and nearly all of the readings are random and don't correlate with what's being covered in class. Easily, the worst part of the course was the agpss part of the course. There needs to be more content that students can reference, such as recorded lectures and lecture videos, considering the class only meets once a week. Overall, the course wasn't too bad, but it felt rushed and unfinished at times. Dr. Diker would normally go on for over an hour, and Duffy would speed-run the remaining slides after Dr. Diker would leave. The class overall is not bad, just rough when one group assignment has the potential to tank your grade.
