Overall the course does a really good job at teaching you software design principles

The course has only 2 midterms, which you can study for with quizzes/ flashcards. No writing code for midterms. There is a final group project though which is very heavy and takes time

Steve was very approachable and flexible compared to a lot of CS professors. My only complaint is that sometimes, there were disconnects between him and the TA's

Start homework early
