This class is amazingly easy. Anyone who knows anything about computers will pass it with relatively little work needed to learn new stuff. Professor does nothing, just runs orientation.

I only saw the professor in the orientation session; this class is mostly run by the TA's. Course is really easy if you take the practice tests for the programs and study a little bit for the other exams. Quite a bit of extra credit offered, and some of it is really easy. Overall, this professor is rarely around, but the class is extremely easy.
