I was interested in what this class had to teach, instead just did minimum to pass it and never looked back. The exams were miserable and worth a lot, with subjective multi choice questions. Assignments were mega easy and you could ignore class for 2 months after midterm and still pass after 48 hours of cramming for the final. And you wanted to ignore class for 2 months because D'silva was preachy, heavily accented and the class slides were entirely useless, not helped by him basically not explaining/using them.

if you're trying to take this as part of a CS minor or something, do yourself a favor and don't take a CS minor.
