![]() ![]() TAs added OH whenever it felt that students were struggling to understand something. Pretty much every HW got an extension, as students said they needed more time. I found Venkat's lectures very informative and he was very accommodating throughout. This was definitely one of the more challenging courses I have taken but it helped me truly appreciate computer architecture. I'd seriously recommend throwing out the previous comments and considering his course! That said, the responsiveness of Professor Venkat and that TAs have made it a much less painful process than it could be. This is still an immensely challenging class where there will be a lot of work, and the biggest issue I have with this class are questions and tasks where the goal isn't always easy to figure out initially. It's challenging material, and he's done better than my 2 weeks in Tychonoviech's class even if he's not as interesting of a lecturer. He's seriously gotten the flow down of the class now. I also talked to his grad TA about it, and supposedly the past incidents were also him getting put in a bad position teaching for his first time without the ability to prepare. Professor Venkat is very knowledgeable and answers even tough questions that get asked easily since he knows well more than just the content in the textbook. This class has been incredibly organized, piazza posts are answered within an hour most of the time and assignments generally graded within 1-2 days. That said, my expectations were entirely incorrect. I got put into this class because I was on the waitlist for Tychonoviech and couldn't get off in time, trying everything possible to avoid Venkat who I heard was awful. Venkat has actually been a great professor this semester. ![]()
