CE 3400

I used this class to fulfill the CE breadth elective requirement and I enjoyed it. Chen is very down-to-earth and keeps you pretty engaged in lecture, and she's very responsive to emails and helpful during office hours too. The class isn't easy--homework assignments are much more challenging than the in-class examples you learn, but there are only like 7 of them so just take it slow and work hard on them. There are also weekly quizzes on Collab, which are much easier than they seem because she assigns like 60 pages of textbook reading but you can just CMD+F the key words in the questions and finish in only a few minutes. Exams are pretty hard, I'd say probably in between the in-class examples and the homeworks in difficulty. She allows corrections and you can get points back, though. Course material was interesting some weeks and really dry other weeks, but overall not a bad class at all.
