CollegeThe lecture is clear and easy to understand, however, the final is getting very hard, much harder than last year. (In case everyone gets an A)
Yu Feng was a very reasonable, engaging professor and his lectures were super clear, so I was never confused even when it got a bit abstract. He went through the entirety of last quarter's final so that we feel prepared. CS162 is much, much easier than CS160. No complaints from me.
grade was determined by 5 homework assignments, with the professor and TA's seemingly making it up as the quarter went on. lectures had little relation in content or difficulty to the hw, generally covered material significantly simpler than the knowledge required for the homework. assignment instructions were often vague or hard to follow.
Great and passionate lecturer. Made the class very interesting and approachable!
I took this class in Fall 2021 and was worried because of the stories from past quarters with this professor. But everything was great: lectures were solid, homework was challenging but reasonable and interesting, and I learned a lot. Would recommend/take other classes with him
I took this course with hesitation, but it was absolutely great. Course has improved across the board. No complaints: the homework assignments were challenging but clear and fair, the professor and TAs were helpful during lectures, office hours, and outside of class. 10/10 Greatest professor redemption arc I've ever seen, kudos to Professor Feng.
