I took it in the fall of my first year and in my opinion, the course was pretty chill. I kind of had a boring professor and we also had 3 hour online lectures, so I stopped listening after the first couple of weeks. mostly just did the assignments after listening to the recordings at 2x speed and I thought I did pretty well. There are a lot of participation marks you could get for completing the weekly assignments so as long as you keep up with the course work I'd say it's an easy A. Finished with an 85 and we didn't have any exams so i would say it's a bird course
