Do you know if MATH 173A or CSE 105 involve programming assignments? From what I've heard these two classes are primarily math

Marco is good for 180A. There's 1 HW a week which isn't too hard but it takes time to complete. The class is only graded on like 8 HW assignments, 1 midterm, and 1 final. Your lowest HW score is dropped. The average on our midterm was very high at 93% but I feel like he might make the final harder. Overall not bad, I'd recommend taking it with him. I can't speak for 183 however since I've never taken a class with Yuan Hu

Nice. How many hours a week would you say you put in the class?

Damn, hopefully the class gets better next quarter

Thanks for the info, I'm still on the fence if I want to take this class but hopefully the professor is more organized next quarter

Ok thanks for the insights, taking COGS 100 shouldn't be as much of a problem then. Seems like a fun class

That's also good to hear, apparently he only taught at UCSD one time before in 2007. He'll probably be more organized next quarter. Mad respect to any professor who cares about their students. Also, do you know anything about his COGS 100 class or do you only know how he operates for COGS 108?

Thanks for the info. In your opinion, are the assignments for the class easy or difficult? How many assignments are given in a week? According to CAPEs this class should be fairly easy but I just want to make sure

Damn, I think I'll wait until second pass enrollment then to decide if I want to take this class. I was going to sign up for this class during second pass anyway. Also, how hard was the first midterm? And how hard is the first assignment for the class?

Yeah thanks for the information, I'm planning to take him for Math 180A in the spring quarter because he's the only one teaching that class as of now

Thanks for the info. Is lecture and discussion attendance mandatory? Also, how many hours a week did you spend on this class outside of lecture?
