Great professor. Very helpful.

This was one of my favorite remote classes. The professor was very accommodating and the class doesn't have any midterms or finals, just a lot of small assignments and projects. The grading scheme is also very generous and the professor is active/helpful on campuswire. Lectures are all pre-recorded and are somewhat confusing but all the homeworks/quizes/projects use material directly from the lecture slides so if you follow the slides you'll be fine. Overall, this professor was really nice and I enjoyed this class since I was able to learn without the stress of midterms or finals.

Professor Sehatbakhsh is genuinely one of the nicest professors I've ever met. The grading scheme is extremely generous and I believe most people got As. The class material itself is pretty interesting and we had several quizzes, homework, and projects which sounds like a lot but he spaced them out really well so it never felt like a lot. The project itself is pretty cool as you incrementally build a pipelined processor in C/C++ with some mini-projects regarding branch prediction. This class had pre-recorded lectures and live zoom was basically review with QnA which I thought was pretty cool. Overall, this class was cool and fun and would definitely recommend as an elective.

Initially I wasn't that interested in the course material, but I ended up loving this class because of Prof. Sehat. He takes feedback and genuinely cares about students. His expectations are really clear and his lectures are engaging- please take a class with him if you get the chance!

The materials are really heavy and hard toward the end of the class, but professor Sehat did an amazing job of teaching and tried to give out good grades as much as possible. TA Justin Feng was super helpful even though it was his first-time TA-ing. 4 quizzes (35%, drop the lowest quiz), each covers materials of every 2 weeks (ie no need to review the old materials for the next quiz). 2 projects (35%) that long so needed to start early and hw (30%) every 1 or 2 weeks that is basically a preparation for the quizzes. Overall, you will learn a lot in this class and I appreciate the professor for making this class enjoyable. He also gives a lot of extra credit.

Loved taking the class with Nader! He was a great professor, very good at lecturing, and gave a lot of extra credit opportunities for students to make up. Really enjoyed the class!

If you can take this class with Prof Sehat, then do it. You will not find a better professor for this course. Prof Sehat is very efficient with his lectures so you will learn a lot of topics. And he explains the material quite clearly. However, most of them should be familiar as you should have learned them in CS33. There are no midterms and final, but there were 4 quizzes (could change depending on your classes speed). The quizzes are fair and expect to use the entire allocated time to finish it. The homework isn't that bad, just make sure you understand the material. For me at least, the 2 projects weren't that bad. If you understand the material, you should be able to do everything in a day or day and day half.

Prof. Sehat is a really good professor and this class is really engaging with a minimum but meaningful workload. I would definitely recommend Prof. Sehat for this class

Fun class. I learned a lot, the content was interesting, and the course was manageable. The only downside was although not super difficult, the homework and exam questions often felt ambiguous. Remember to always state your assumptions on exams! Grading also took a very long time.
