He goes over a ton of tedious examples by hand, which can be helpful if you are struggling with the material, but if you aren't then you will fall asleep. The exams are extremely similar to the exams from previous years that he provides you, so if you study those then you will do totally fine.Rate My Professors ↗
He is a cool guy, but 252 is a bad class. The programming assignments in LC-3 near the end of the semester are awful, and take tons of time, but you will still do poorly on them. Lectures aren't entirely useful, as all of the slides are onlineRate My Professors ↗
Guri was a good teacher, but his online posts made me feel terrible. He was incredibly rude over online help sources like Piazza. He was condescending and the homework was illogical. The homework started easy, and then picked up to over 12 hours on one homework to still have the class average be a 40%.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Sohi is very passionate about what he teaches, but lectures are not always super helpful and the book is needed to clear things up sometimes. Make sure you study hard for tests and understand conceptually how to apply the things you've learned in classRate My Professors ↗
Sohi is straight forward and to the point. No quizzes. He accounts exams for 70 percent and Homework as 30 percent. There was no final but rather a Midterm 4 about the last few chapters. Homework can get lengthy and complicated over the course of the semester, especially after learning LC-3 machine code. Class consists of him talking about slides.Rate My Professors ↗
First half of class moves pretty slow, but hey, I understand binary and binary arithmetic super well. Pretty easy class with straight forward exams and Guri is really good about explaining any confusions you may have if you talk to him after class. I found the textbook really nice for reviewing before the exams as well.Rate My Professors ↗
