Professor Marshall has the perfect balance between difficulty and easiness. The class is just easy enough that you won't have to work too hard.

RM711 is a bit tougher if you are not already well versed in either programming or excel as the class uses both. The class expects zero knowledge of programming, but it never hurts.

It's a hybrid class. We only met for the reviews before exams and then to take the exams. So you're on your own.

Just need to study yourself for the HW and the small theory part.
