Student reviews

Ran makes lectures very interesting and clearly communicates what's on the quizzes. The lecture notes are a bit scattered but the class's grading system is generous and really encourages self study. Come in with knowledge about linux or the homeworks will be annoyingly hard.CY2550 2020-12-11 19:54:31 +0000 UTC
