My daughter (not a CS major) took the fundamentals class as an elective. I have a CS background (from back in the 80s). I thought the approach was great. They teach technique not a language and you won’t get a good grade unless you follow their “style guide”. This may put off some kids (who have been programming for ages and their only concern is that it works not how it looks.) The class was not what I would call small (taught by the professor with like 50 kids) but the lab classes are small (those are taught by the TA). I was impressed that the professor knew my daughter and that the TAs were very helpful. They have a nice area in H where you can go for help and lots of the CS kids hang out there. Almost all my daughter’s friends are CS (or Computer engineering) majors and have done very well in their co-ops and now getting jobs as they graduate.
