Overview
Feedback is mostly positive. The strongest signal is that students generally rate the course well. Difficulty runs on the high side even without a single dominant complaint theme. Best for students who can handle a demanding pace without needing constant hand-holding. The sample is still thin, so treat this as directional rather than definitive.

Student Reports
How hard is the A?
Hard to get an A
Students repeatedly frame high grades as something you have to earn. This reads as hard to ace rather than casually easy, especially once the course pace or grading standards ramp up.
Homework Load
Heavy homework load
Homework load is one of the clearest friction points. Students repeatedly describe assignments, readings, or problem sets as time-consuming.
Lecture Load
Thin lecture signal
There is not much direct evidence on lecture load, so this remains a weak read rather than a strong course-wide claim.
Student Responses
formulate multiple period decision-making problems in the dynamic programming framework; write code to approximate the optimal policy; roughly evaluate run-time performances of proposed algorithms.

I have learned very important dynamic programming and optimization knowledge, but it's quite difficult for me.
