8.   Do you have any additional comments about this course and/or instructor?
The practice questions were a bit too long. Also it would have been helpful if problem sets and quiz answers were available for review after submission.
It was a pretty easy class, but still interesting.
No additional comments.
I liked how the course was formatted and it made it easy to comprehend the material. There was also enough practice questions added to each topic to ensure the best grade possible for quizzes/tests.
Professor Babybars is great at planning out the entire course. He explains the content easily enough to build confidence in me throughout the start and near the end of the class because he gives relatable small talk and practice problems in between. I started as a student with low self-esteem, thinking I would be uncomfortable or hate myself for not doing the best I can in this class, but Professor Baybars somehow took me out of this swamp. Ultimately motivated me to keep on submitting the assignments on time.
Overall a great course.
