Good
Prof.'s lectures are cool and interesting but they aren't really necessary. No evaluation is based on lectures since everything is just papers and quizzes from the textbook. Since questions are very specific, quizzes can be really tricky. Papers are graded easily though. He gave little feedback on final project. He's cool and inspirational!
