Great professor with clear direction for the class. Structured well and communicates any changes as necessary.

Took CS184 before this class and liked that class more simply because this class had so many unnecessary homework assignments. The labs were also longer and more harshly graded. Still a super easy class and fun to create an app in your group. I did prefer making a web app over a mobile app though. Lectures are pretty useless.

Class is basically just working in your group the entire time because you don't really learn anything new. You take full control of your project and do anything but there is no way to keep accountability.Only issue is assignments were never graded until the end of the quarter so you don't know your grade. Super easy class and great for your resume.

If you've only taken 156 with Conrad you might not realize that project classes are generally very easy to get an A in. I think Hollerer does a very good job of making the course flexible so you can do the bare minimum or put more effort into your project if there's a specific framework you're interested in learning etc...

There aren't many CS classes where you can actually make something and deploy it. This is a great class to have fun making Android apps that you can actually install on your phone. Lecture slides are kinda dry, but he's kind and answer all questions happily. You'll have to read documentations to learn Android basics tho.

Prof. Hollerer is a great professor who obviously cares about his students. However 184 was a heavier class than I expected. Not conceptually difficult, but you make several apps over the course of the quarter and there's a lot of debugging and hacking stuff up involved. Lectures are also a bit dry. Start your projects EARLY!!!!
