CS 3330

Unless you realllllly love low level CS classes, do NOT take this class unless you have to. Its hard and a lot of work. The other reviews sum it up well, and the syllabus/class schedule is available online. Prof. Reiss seems super smart and teaches well, but I still found the class really hard and not a good use of my time. Don't recommend! #tCFfall22

GOOD MORNING. SO UHHHHH LAST TIME.....

Is how you will start your every lecture in this class. Charles Reiss is incredibly intelligent and cares for his students so much. If you ever go to his office hours and speak with him, he can hold a conversation and seems to know almost everything about computer science, basic and advanced.

HOWEVER, I am so glad this course is going away with the new curriculum. Aside from the bomb lab, rotate, and smooth, every assignment in this class felt like a chore. All the content in this class is super dry and really only for low level fanatics. Though Reiss is informative, he is not much of an entertainer and its really difficult to even go to lecture, unless you're extremely motivated by grades. The final was also horrendously hard. Average was a 56, with the smallest grade curve ever (to put it into perspective, an 86.1% was a B+, which is 0.9% less than what it normally is). Overall, I didn't really like how the final shot down most of our grades and how boring this course is, but that doesn't take away from the fact that Reiss is a total G.
