01/29/2026		I took this Spring 2025 but didn't leave a review until now. It's very chill as long as you don't mind group work. Most of the class is conceptual; the only technical thing was a tiny unit on Arduino. Assignments pretty much all came from a semester-long group project: a proposal presentation, some write ups, a final presentation, and a 1-page final report. The exams weren't difficult, though they were a bit hard to predict since the class is so high-level. The midterm was open note and the final was take home. I think the only thing I didn't like about this class was that presentation days went overtime, but Jun was very open to feedback so he might've changed things since then.
