This was an interesting class and Dugan was a fairly good teacher. The labs are only every other week and are pretty easy, and if you pay attention in class (and definitely go to class) then you'll have no problem on the midterms or the final.

If you can't wake up in time for this class (mine was at 9am), don't sign up for it. If you go to class, you'll do well. If you don't, you'll
a) miss all the quizzes which make up 15% of your grade, and
b) do poorly on the tests (that are based mostly off of her lectures and not the book) which are 55% of your grade.

Labs are easy regardless of going to class or not, and are an easy 100% for the 30% of your final grade they are.

Easily the best class I took this semester. Professor Dugan is fantastic and the course material is really, really interesting. Take this class.

Dugan is a fair professor. She gives 20 or so quizzes (about half were pop quizzes), and only takes the top ten grades. The material, however, was tedious, but if you understand the material, you will get a good grade, because her tests are fairly straightforward. She also posts all the in class notes online, so attendance is not necessary at all.

Her lectures are not very good at all. Often she gets lost in her own problems, many technical difficulties with the technology in rice and she is not very thorough in her explanations. Also it is almost impossible to hear her talk in class, might as well go home and turn up my computer volume to 100% and rewatch the lectures. That is something she does do well though- post all lectures and slides she went over in class. Also she counts 10 out of the 20+ quizzes we have in the class, so it is not too difficult to get decent grades in her class. Also she goes out of her way to try to help you understand the material, which is always nice. Work is standard e-school load. TAs are decent.

Class gets exponentially more boring as the semester progresses. Coincidentally, earlier material is easy but gets harder. Go to class, pay attention and you'll be fine.

I feel like this is definitely a class in which you can get an A if you go to class and pay attention. You will not be able to pass this class UNLESS you go to class and do so. That's because the professor doesn't really follow the book. Definitely a worthwhile class though- and Professor Dugan has great enthusiasm.

Professor is very helpful and is willing to help you in any way possible. If attendance is lacking she will throw in some pop quiz (easy stuff) so it pays to show up to class, as it will pay off in the end.

Prof Dugan is one of the best and most fair professors at UVA. Digital Logic Design, in general, is not very interesting; however, Dugan tries to make lectures fun. She certainly knows her stuff.

It is not very good to achieve a good grade in this class. Stay on top of the material and go to class and you'll be fine.

The labs are free grades and the weekly quizzes aren't bad if you take good notes in lecture. The midterms and final are largely based off of the quizzes so those didn't end up being too hard either. The book homework isn't required but it had a lot of quality practice problems so it was really helpful for studying
