CS 1110

Nice and easy to get a good grade in. I made myself go to lectures once a week after literally not knowing about a test until I accidentally clicked on a piazza notification, but I was usually able to get a lot of work done in the lecture, so that's a plus. Kinda dry as a lecturer, but the material is pretty basic to half the class, and there's not much to do to spice it up. Pretty easy A if you remember all the assignments.

If you're taking it as a cog-sci requirement and you don't like programming, tread carefully. The only reason I survived this course was office hours and online lectures with Petit and Brunelle.

This course was taught in tandem with other professors. This was not noticeable when this course was in person but it was noticeable when we went online. The other teachers would do live lectures while Dill posted his separate lectures as video files under his Collab site. There is nothing wrong with that but compared to the levels of collaboration between the other professors it definitely made his efforts seem a little weak.

As for the course itself, it does not get really difficult until the last third of the semester. The last few weeks especially are really challenging with the harder homework ("PAs") and projects.

The lab section was easy. Just show up and you'll do fine.
