    CS177 . 1 Year, 4 Days Ago

    CS177 was literally the best course I have taken at UCSB, though tests would be difficult. extra credits would be given if you solve some advanced difficult lab homework.

    CS177 . 1 Year, 5 Months Ago

    I don't know why networks is not a prerequisite for this class. I was pretty lost for the first third of the class because of that. That being said, Prof Kruegel is knowledgeable and makes the information easy to understand and I did enjoy the rest of the class.. Projects were fun and satisfying. Exams were terrible though, impossible to study for.

    CS160 . 6 Months Ago

    Great class - professor really knows his stuff and makes an effort to be available on Piazza outside of lectures and OHs to help students. Projects and exams are tough but fair, and if you make an effort, you won't be blindsided.
