The material is abstract in some cases, but some of it is applicable to the more theoretical parts of computer science. It was mostly doing problems in the textbook through all access, about four quizzes, then two tests.

He was fine overall.

Do the all the assignments and the practices problems and you will be good for the tests.

Was pretty easy when I took it over the summer. You just need to put aside some time to do the exercises through the online book.
