One of the most enjoyable CS classes I've taken. Abari goes through the class at an accommodating pace, and is a pretty fun lecturer. The material is not super difficult, but the difficulty increases as the class goes on. The class consisted of 4 homework assignments, a midterm, and a final. The homework was adequately difficult enough to prepare you for the exams and you have around a week to finish it.

It’s a hard class but Prof. Omid Abari makes it easy with his genius charm. He is always smiling when teaching this stuff which says a lot about his passion and knowledge of the topics. This is the only class I looked forward to attending lectures over Zoom. Prof’s smile is contagious, it gets you to smile and design gates in a happy environment. He teaches at a wonderful pace and asks at least several times if there are any questions before moving on. There are smart professors and there are great professors. Prof. Abari is both. He is smart and knows how to properly pass on his knowledge in a very friendly manner, making you smart as well. 10/10 would recommend, Prof Abari is a rare creature in a sea of monotone professors.
