There is regular homework. Learning by doing is often more effective than learning by reading a manual about doing. Trying out new ideas is fun. During experiments, you don't have to sit still in class. This course is very demanding.
Homework is due almost every week.
This course penalizes absence from class. It is frustrating to have to figure out for oneself what things mean and how to do things rather than to be told just what you have to learn. Because this is a relatively new course, there will be some rough edges. Some of the class experiments may not turn out as expected.
