Andrea Vaccari

Vaccarri is awesome and fun. Things are confusing at times but with only one homework and one lab per week there's not too much work and the links in canvas can help to clear up anything confusing. Exams are fine if you study.

People were not lying when they said this class will test your patience and ability to survive. Very very hard course but oh how fulfilling it is when you get something right. Do not be folled by week 1, it ramps up right away and you MUST go to class, must ask questions, must go to TA hours, and listen to the professors and start homework EARLY. This class is not for the weak (not to scare you, professor Vaccari (and Johnson) are here to help you succeed)!

This is probably one of the hardest computer prereqs you'll have to take unless you have a background in hardware or systems design. The class itself is very interesting as you get to learn how computers work at a very low level. Don't skip any lecture and you should be fine.
