![]() I took this class during the Spring 2020 Coronavirus online classes and thought this class went well up until the end. Also, even though this class may not be the hardest elective, Graham has the threshold for an A be a 95 which is very annoying Overall, you might still want to take this class if you want a class that isn't too intense or if you really feel like you want to learn more about networks, but honestly I feel like you could learn more/faster about networks if you read a textbook or found an online class. Once I decided to start the homework early and finished it, only to have Graham change the files we needed to submit after the assignment had already been out for a week and I had to go back and change some stuff to make sure my deliverable was correct. So it's better to wait for early students to run into problems and then to read over how they fixed the issues in discord after they get help. ![]() I feel like Riess or Bloomfield would have surely sent out an email with the missing info.Īlso, it's really hard to start homework early for this class because it's almost guaranteed that due to poor instructions, students will run into issues. But he didn't send and email out about it or pin the message, so it was only helpful to those who happened to see it. Turns out, the week before Graham had posted something in discord with the missing info. In discord I read about what some other people did but didn't understand why they did it. Here's one example of his disorganization: I was working on an assignment (laptop receiver) and I felt like the instructions were clearly lacking some details about how to do what it was asking us to do. Graham instructions are ~very~ bad compared to those, and literally every assignment/email I've see written by him has grammatical/spelling errors which make the instructions even harder to understand. You know how in CS 2150 or Operating Systems you have basically a super in depth README file that gives all the instructions for the homework? Those were great, and when I took those courses I felt that the Professors (Bloomfield and Riess) did a great job of constantly updating the instructions/code so that it was as clear as possible. But his disorganization is most felt on the homework. Often I found that the textbook said what he was trying to say much better. ![]() Often when teaching, it feels like he's jumping around and it's not very clear how the concepts he's teaching are related to each other which makes following his teaching better. Graham is nice guy and is very interested in what he's teaching, but unfortunately he's very unorganized and this makes taking his class frustrating (Graham even said himself in class that he is disorganized, so this isn't even just my own opinion). I want to echo pretty much everything the other review (posted on 5/02/20) said.
