Maybe the most boring professor I've ever had. The sample exams aren't too similar to the real exams. If you can manage to pay attention, you will learn a lot about OS

This class is awful. He has his slides but none of them is related to projects. His practice exams are nothing like the real exams. The project was a huge long BitTorrent Client for a whole semester with no help from either the TA or him. Never reply emails in time. I sincerely don't think he cares about this class. Avoid this class!!

Probably the driest lecturer I've ever had. He scribbles illegible things on the whiteboard while droning on. None of his in class examples are fully thought out or explained well. His slides are useless. You have a better chance of winning the lottery then gauging what could be on the exam. The information that he tests you on is pure memorization

Comment:

His lectures are boring. For our semester, he threw the BitTorrent project on us without warning, while saying he was going to change the project at the beginning of the semester. Project and lectures are not connected in any way so there's no point in going to class. He and the TAs don't really answer questions in a timely manner. Exams are okay.

He gives lots of reading assignments and all the tests are based on them. If you miss a class you pay. Overall, the course is heavy and needs time.

Comment:

The entire class is one large group project split into three steps. Attendance dwindled to pitiful numbers once everyone realized he posts the slides online before lecture. Recitation was even less useful. Exams are mostly memorization and the TAs usually give a good amount of partial credit. Java experience is a must for the project.

Lectures and slides are clear, if a bit boring. The project (bittorrent client) is pretty tough. You better know how to code large Java projects in groups of 2-3. The average grade right now is a 60, so there will probably be a large curve.

Super easy, funny, and makes sure everyone understands. I didn't use the textbook; reading the slides is good enough.

Nath isn't a bad professor, but I had a hard time paying attention to him in class. Don't bring your laptop or you'll get WAY too distracted. He makes a good number of mistakes, so be on the lookout. I also wasn't very interested in the class beyond C and binary (I'm more of a software guy than a hardware guy), but he's alright...
