CollegeA great professor and I think he takes true passion in education. He is transitioning CS32 from a course on OOP to an introduction to systems, and I think even in its very early stages it is a well structured way to learn a bit about OS, computer architecture, parallel programming, etc. to see what you like. Exams very fair, but you need to study.
I took 32 and 130A with Nasir. He's an amazing teacher and is very nice. His extra credit in 32 clutched me an A. I spent a lot of time on the 130A homework's and went to every ULA and TA Office Hours to do the homeworks. I also loved going to his office hours each week, he is great.
Had him for CMPSC 32 and CMPSC 176A and he was A BLAST! Really loved his material, but get ready to study, esp if you have other commitments. He's very open and will definitely help you succeed if you put in some work, like going to office hours
Absolutely love this guy, I took 130a and 176a with him after this. Very caring and supportive.
Professor Nasir was great! I have had less than great experiences with some computer science professors on campus, and he was a nice change from that! Lectures are in depth and put the code concepts into a more understandable context. He answers questions well, is understanding and genuinely wants all of his students to succeed! Would take again!
Very caring and very clear and interesting lectures. He made everything easy to understand and I was able to get a decent grade without having to spending much time outside class. All
