Does the class' value outweigh its difficulty? Explain. Some repersentative comments/advice from students that they would have liked to have prior to taking this course

Its hard to tell because the stuff is important, but I learned absolutely nothing and I am still getting good grades

You have to be ready to go above and beyond to teach yourself the material because Lin only goes over the general ideas, yuou have to teach yourself the details

The labs for this class were practically useless to help in the understanding of this course material. The homework problems were excessively difficult and gave little insight into the theory. In addition the TA for this course is not very helpful and gives no instruction on lab procedures.
