Christopher Andrews

While computer architecture is inherently a difficult course, it was difficult to stay excited for the class as the semester progressed. Professor Andrews taught the necessary materials but the lectures had no energy and felt rushed. Many of the complex concepts were taught in a lecture or two and were expected to be applied/implemented in our homeworks and projects the next week. If you are able to maintain 100% attentiveness, some extra work outside the classroom to get a better understanding of the material, and lots of time dedicated to homeworks & projects, then you will do fine in the course.

I really enjoyed taking this class with Professor Andrews. My only caveat would be how long it took to get some assignments/exams graded. It made the end of the semester way more stressful than it should have been in my opinion. If you make sure not to fall behind with the in-class material then the homework problems are manageable. I attended many office hours when it came to the projects, those were pretty difficult for me. His explains things in a very straightforward way. This class has been very different from any other cs I have ever taken. Overall his grading is pretty fair I was happy with my grade in the end.

This was one of the coolest courses I've taken at midd. Professor Andrews is a really clear lecturer and the nature of the content is really fun and engaging. The workload wasn't all too much either by CS standards.
