Common Limitations or Challenges
This guide provides a high-level overview of the course. It does *not* contain the detailed lecture notes, specific problem sets, or solutions to assignments. It outlines the topics covered but doesn’t delve into the intricacies of the concepts themselves. It also doesn’t replace the need for active participation in lectures and labs, or the use of the required textbook. Access to the full guide is needed to understand the specific readings assigned each week and the detailed expectations for each lab project.
