Iskander Lou INST327 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/24/2023	Overall, this was a fair class. Be prepared to teach yourself mySQL to complete the assignments since you won't learn much from lectures. Labs are free points if you attend the discussion. Make sure to start the assignments (especially the parts of the semester-long group project early) so that you can ask for help.

Iskander Lou INST327 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/24/2023	This class was one of the most painful classes that I have taken. Iskandor's lectures are more focused on trying to be your friend since he's a grad student than actually teaching. Most of the lecture is disorganized which makes the assignments more difficult to navigate. Most of the learning I did was with the AMPs and the TAs than his lectures. I would say to skip lectures but next semester, they will require attendance which is very frustrating since it's normally a waste of time. Also, there are so many group projects and they are incredibly painful since peer reviews have never deducted significantly to change behaviors, only if they do NO work, not significantly less. Overall, a painful requirement, but again I got an A so it's not that bad.

I would recommend for your group project to pick people good at sql,. Try and master normalization, erd diagrams, and data importing. Starts the big assignments early and go to office hours for help.
