This class is hard, but you have to take it. The first two homeworks will be especially hard.

Straight memorization but the book and material are useful. Prof. K is a nice guy but also unreasonable about letting people into the class. Just make a ton of note cards.

Like everyone has said, the homeworks take forever. Do not procrastinate or you won't finish. Also, make sure you get a 60 or above on everything or you have to redo the assignment/test. Don't let that scare you; homework averages are usually near the 90s. Just put in the work.

Kwicz is old school, wears a bow tie, and specifies the angle at which you should staple the HW. He's tasked with teaching a difficult subject but he's very knowledgeable and surprisingly nice and helpful if you need it. The HW takes a bit but is sort of just busy work in that it requires very little abstract thought. tests are memorization. Basically, it's a straight forward class with no tricks...the opposite of 3021

HWs take up to 20+ hrs easily. But you have 3 weeks to complete an assignment.

Wonderful professor. Lectures could be confusing/difficult at times, but very organized and fun otherwise. You should start on the homeworks at least a week in advance. They are not extremely difficult, but simply time consuming. The midterms are very straight forward memorization. If you put in the time (3-4 days before the test), you'll do well.

Krzysztofowicz is one of the smartest and most intelligent professors I have had at this school. Unfortunately, the homeworks are a pain and take 15 or more hours. The tests are also insanely hard. If you work hard, and are good at memorizing, you can do well in this class.

K-witz's class is very difficult; if you're looking for a tech elective to graduate, I would recommend you go elsewhere. He expects a lot on the homeworks, and they take alot of time, probably at least 20 hours each. I cannot stress this enough, START THEM EARLY, I'd say at least a week in advance. While they are difficult, K-witz is very approachable at office hours, and is generally a pretty nice guy.

Interesting class. At times it was my favorite class of the three required that semester for systems engineering, but that was never within a week before a homework assignment was due.

This class isn't impossible like the other reviews say it is, but it will ruin you if you procrastinate (which lots of people inevitably do). If you don't have a TA willing to help a lot, you're also screwed. It is brute force memorization, but the memorization is completely straightforward. If you put in the work, you'll do well. If you don't, you'll fail (and I mean fail, not get a "C"). Also, the prof is a nice guy, just old fashioned. It would make a lot more sense for this class to be curved, but it's not, which is what makes it virtually impossible to get an A.
