Comment :
The prof has a heavy Chinese accent but it gets easier to understand her as you get used to it. There is no textbook. There is one midterm, one group assignment, two labs (the quizzes are worth 5% total, and they're easy), and a final. Midterm and final were both very fair. The midterm was more in depth and the final was very general. The professor cares a lot about her students, and is always looking to help you out. She also has a sense of humour about herself, and explains concepts really well. The course material is pretty simple (some complex things but generally fine).

Comment :
Course content is pretty much like the intro MBG course and isn't too difficult, but the content isn't very compelling and sometimes it's a bit difficult to understand the professor. Overall, the course isn't too difficult, but it's not that interesting.
