Super boring course, hard to learn anything new... too old...EECE7352 2020-05-02 21:31:00 +0000 UTC
Start the homeworks the same day they are assigned.ECE7352 2015-12-02 16:50:39 +0000 UTC
Homework is challenging (beginner-intermediate knowledge prior) but Prof. Kaeli and the TA's are helpful and knowledgeable. Labs are very interesting and the write-ups are straightforward. Great class. Material is very interesting.EECE2160 2014-12-26 22:16:46 +0000 UTC
Incredibly good at what he does. Seems like he knows all the people in the field. If you can track him down and steal some time, he's very helpful.EECE3324 2014-01-19 16:30:07 +0000 UTC
Had Comp Arch with him. Confusing to no end. Not very understanding at all for students who have trouble in his class. He's always busy with meeting with companies so trying to get him outside his office hours is impossible. When you do go to his office it's almost useless.ECEU324 2007-04-18 04:48:24 +0000 UTC
Great professor - really cares about student success. Also I had him twice and didn't have to take a final in either class. Homeworks are long though, but if you complete them, you get a good grade. Also lots of extra credit opportunity.EECE7352 2017-04-05 23:39:27 +0000 UTC
Had comp arch with him, he was SO confusing! Yes, he's a smart guy but does not know how to teach! He assumes students know it all and gives extremely hard assignments with minimum to no help at all! The only good thing about him is that he gives a lot of extra creditEECE3324 2012-12-22 23:04:00 +0000 UTC

He cares A LOT about his students. Show up for class and make sure to score well on the quizes and you will do fine. If you're confused, just go in and talk to him. He'll do so even outside of his office hours. Really great guy. Just make sure to pay attention in class. The people who failed quizes misses minor details he'd mention.EECE7352 2017-01-03 14:39:28 +0000 UTC
He obviously knows his stuff but he doesn't know how to teach! He assumes everyone knows the material so he assigns insanely hard assignments and never goes over them in class! He expects you to figure it all out on your own! Confusing to no end.EECE3324 2012-03-29 17:02:19 +0000 UTC

Professor David Kaeli is really of great knowledge in computer architecture, and he can express his ideas really clreally to all students. His class is funny and easy to learn. Though the workload is heavy, it's the way you can really learn. Good class, recommend to you!EECE7352 2014-11-16 15:48:23 +0000 UTC
Hard to learn in his class. Always speaks irrelevant, discusses his experiences with blah blah companies and blah blah research. No technical lectureEECE7352 2013-11-03 18:28:10 +0000 UTC
Teaches almost nothing. Talking about the useless stuff everytime. We feel now it is the point where he would teach something relevent, informative and clear understandable, then we are absolutely wrong!!!EECE7352 2013-11-03 18:20:38 +0000 UTC
