As a non-Engineering and non-CS majoring student, I found this class to be one of the most informative I have taken at UVa. Looking across the semester, I realize that I have learned a great deal of very interesting and useful information (take becoming familiar with C++ and x86 for two). While definitely challenging (although not the hardest class I have taken at UVa), for me there was a great deal of satisfaction in solving neat problems (I actually happened to like lab 6). Lastly, I also thought the grading policy was very fair and that Professor Bloomfield worked very hard to ensure that a sense of fairness in grading was maintained.
Insane amount of work. Learned a lot. Felt like some of the tutorials should not have been included. Teaching was very good and tests were good but sometimes focused on useless things, such as emacs commands. Also from the amount of work, this class should be 5 credits.
Please at least make the textbooks optional. I was one of the few who bought the textbook, and it was a great resource. It helped me through more than four labs.
