amazing professor who really cares about the learning of his students

I would 10000000% recommend Jukka!! The class is insanely easy because he is an excellent teacher! The content is very easy and he is extremely concerned about student learning. You will learn a lot from this class. The coding portion isn't that bad, so don't be too scared. You get plenty of practice problems before exams which allows you to prepare yourself. There are hardly any curveballs in the class. He truly tests you on content that has been covered. Overall, take this class with Jukka if you can!!!
Also, I am selling my textbook! email me at monikacebreros@gmail.com if interested!

Jukka is a great professor who really wants his students to succeed. He posts his lecture slides the day before so students can preview the material. Jukka's lectures are very clear and focused, but he does talk fast so it's important to have the lecture slides with you. He also spends the first portion of lecture reviewing the previous lecture's material. iClickers are required for participation/attendance in lecture. The lab portion of this class builds on the coding concepts from LS30A, but are generally shorter and more focused than the 30A labs. Homework is graded on "significant progress towards the correct answer," which is at the discretion of the TA, but the lowest 2 scores are dropped. There is one midterm and a final for which Jukka provides practice templates and review sessions. The practice exams are *very* similar structure- and content-wise to the actual exams, so if you can do those then you will do fine in the class.

Very easy class. Didn't pay attention, only went to class for clickers. The only part that is a bit difficult are the labs which can be tedious at times. The professor is very kind, even setting up individual appointments with students after the midterm to discuss ways to help students improve.

Do not take a class with this professor. He made my life hellish haha. The material can be better taught by anyone else

I love Jukka! Amazing person and professor...

Best professor ever.
