    Leave time for sustained project work

    A reviewer who had taken only CS11 and CS15 found the time commitment more challenging than the concepts. They recommended a lighter semester and making use of office hours.

    Office hours and exam preparation

    Another reviewer found the course very demanding and lectures difficult to engage with. They still considered lecture material important for exams and relied on office hours for assignments.
