Prof: Zach Schafer, Meghan Sindelar / Fall 2025
Dec 13, 2025
The course was easy, but if you don't like talking to people you might not like it since you will spend almost the entire semester with a group of 3-4 other people. There's also a recitation run by your assigned TA, but as the semester goes on it will become optional to attend at some point.
Focuses on one main project called your Showcase at the end of the semester, and you'll spend almost every class working on assignments that are supposed to help brainstorm ideas for it. I got to choose my group and topic since I went to class, but if you don't show up for the first full month then you'll get put into a random group, so I highly suggest going to class at least in the first half of the semester.
The two professors split their focus between half of the class, one takes on one half and the other handles the other half. I had Dr. Sindelar and she was very nice, but didn't always give straight forward answers, so make sure to rely on your group mates for most things. Professor Schafer was extremely nice too and added a lot of chillness to the class, but I never got to talk to him a lot.
Go to class, stay on top of assignments, but most of all communicate with your group mates or you likely will fail or barely pass the class (not to scare anyone, but it is kinda true).
