<p>Im thinking about taking this class
Is this a good class with good prof. ?</p>
<p>I can’t comment from personal experience about Vemuri, but his ratings on my ratemyprofessor are pretty unflattering. </p>
<p>I took this class with Knoeson however and if the style of teaching is going to be anything similar, you can basically expect straightforward powerpoint presentations, light reading/homework pre-lab assignments from the text, weekly lab quizzes, two projects (one individual, one group) and a very reasonable multiple choice final. </p>
<p>Not having taken any programming course before, I found the topic matter kind of interesting. Learning it at least impressed me with the implications of the potential things you could do with it. I would rate it as a fair class, although even for my class, I found the instruction less than inspiring. If taken with Knoeson, you can skip most the classes and study from home as he posts his powerpoint presentation on smartsite.</p>
<p>I am taking him in this winter as well, good luck for both of us:|</p>
<p>I’m taking ENG 6 as well next quarter. Do we have to download the Matlab program onto our computers prior to the class? Or will Vemuri tell us what we have to do?</p>
