I feel like while the class is a bit harder, the reasoning behind it makes sense. It definitely prepared me for the upper level ENEE courses, where the workload definitely ramps up. Tudor and the TAs did a great job, and I learned a lot from that course. Would take it again, had a great time in that class.

Projects take too much time for a 2 credit course. His lectures are pointless, I went to 3 or 4 lectures and each time I regretted it. If you read the book and do the projects you'll be fine on the tests.

For a two-credit course, the projects take way too much time. Late to class often, and sometimes forgets to post coursework.

For a 2 credit class, ENEE140 is a lot of work. Projects are very challenging and time consuming, as I found myself relying on TA's a lot despite having worked with C before. Projects are rewarding in the end, and I def learned something from them despite their rigorous nature. Lectures were pretty boring, as they only felt somewhat relevant and really only provided good information about half the time. Exams are fair and professor provides a lot of past exams (and answers to study). Use your TA's heavily and start projects early and you will be fine.

ENEE140 is supposedly an "intro" class but I did not find this the case at all. There is a lot to learn and it doesn't feel like a 2 credit class at all. There are weekly homework, around 8 quizzes in the semester, and 3 projects. The homework are doable, but if you do not have prior coding experience, USE THE TA'S! They are very helpful. I personally did not use professor Tudor too often, as the TA's were very reliable for me. Make sure to make friends in the class as sometimes homeworks and projects become a bit much as the semester picks up and it is very useful to have people you can ask for help when the TA's are not available. The lectures went smoother as the semester went on, but at the beginning they were often confusing and went over lecture time. START EARLY on the projects. They are normally quite a lot of work. There are project help sessions the Friday before the project is due. These sessions last from 8am to 5pm. There are also weekly extra credit coding assignments and every project has extra credit on it. If you put in effort, you will see results. Just make sure to start things early and do not fall behind on the content.

Good lectures, always helpful in answering questions and explaining topics. Projects were really hard and took a long time but were very well thought out and really got right to the heart of the concepts while also introducing other topics and giving a taste of how programming algorithms are actually used in the real world. Overall the class was a really good introduction to c and programming more generally and did great at preparing us for 150. Some people say the class was a bit too hard for people who have no prior programming experiences, but I think its about the same difficulty as other introductory programming classes .

He’s a pretty good prof, but his lectures are a little disorganized. If you ask questions he’s good at clarifying though. He was consistently 5-10 minutes late and would hold us 10-15 minutes past the end of class, but this is likely just a online-learning thing. Overall nice Professor and not too hard of a class!

Professor Tudor was very easy going and very approachable. I wish his lectures were structured a little better. The projects are ridiculously tedious for a two credit class, but I feel as it did prepare me for 150.

Tudor's a pretty chill guy and a good teacher. He tries to structure his lectures around the concepts students find most difficult from assigned readings which helps. The homework he assigns for this class is fairly straightforward and ties in directly with projects he assigns for this class. His projects aren't too hard, but they take time.
