Hard proofs, labs that are different from the lectures. Learned about circuits and logic gates. Math and proof involved.

Labs are different from the lectures. Learning about logical circuits was interesting.

Helped on piazza. Plenty of TAs to get help from.

Get a good lab partner who is good at circuits.

The first 3 weeks of the (summer) class was okay, but it gets pretty hard on the 4th week when they start to cover about proofs. The last few labs also get harder, especially the DFA sequential circuits. Finals was difficult too, but I think it got scaled, cuz I ended up with a mark that's way beyond my expectations. Initially thought that I'd only get low to mid 70s, but ended up with an A-.

Do the assignments early. Practice proofs.

Lectures are highly conceptual but the exams and projects are application heavy. The coding questions on the weekly examlets are worth about 30% but practice problems are not provided. Would have had better results grinding leetcode and learning the topics on my own.

Fundamental algorithms and data structures, content is useful but poorly delivered

Lectures are dry and have minimal engagement, but are recorded

Get good at doing linked list and binary tree problems on leetcode using C++

Classic intro to DSA; lectures were mostly on the conceptual side while assignments/labs/examlets is where the coding happened

Classes are interesting but some concepts were pretty hard.
