So far it is a beastly class. Our first project was writing a user level thread library along with a mutex implementation that was a clone of pthreads. The projects are in C , and I have a strong C++ background, so I've been able to get the work done. I feel sorry for anyone that isn't well versed in C/C++ though. I have been a bit frustrated with the chopped up video formatting too. I've seen all 90+ MIT OCW physics videos when getting my bachelors (they took them down because the lecturer was sexually harassing students), and those were recording of the actual on campus class. I though that format was so much better. I also find not having a text book frustrating. The subject is not new, but there are a lot of details not covered in their videos that are hard to find out on the internet. For our first homework I had to dig out the text book I had for a Computer Hardware class a long time ago, because I couldn't find what I needed online. My only other gripe is it seems like they tried to package things up nicely but failed on the last 10%. The syllabus for my class has assignments out of order, as in the dates are not sequential. And there is conflicting information about the papers we are supposed to read for the class. For the first project I found 3 versions of the starter code. It should be extremely clear, what we are supposed to have done by what date. All of that said, I am still really excited about the program. The projects are difficult but very interesting, and the TAs get back to you very quickly on the message boards. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05388283897333224386noreply@blogger.com
