How well you do in this course is primarily based on the teams/groups you're put in for group projects which is mainly how you'll be assessed. Considering that's random and out of your control, I would recommend choosing projects (if you have an option) similar to people who you are familiar with and know are not lazy. Lectures are mainly useless, I only went to 3-5 during the whole academic year. Do not miss labs, because you could lose marks during peer evaluations. Written exams are pretty easy if you go through the slides and make notes. Just pray that you don't get put in a group with bums.
