He had great lectures and fair tests. He was very accessible for additional help.

Great lectures, but you can still do well on the exams if you diligently study the slides. The labs/projects are really fun. You also won't realize how important this class is until you take it, so trust me, take it. I'd wished I'd taken it sooner when I got asked questions about how I made my projects secure in job interviews.

He is a great professor who is passionate about his research. He teaches well and explains the concerts really thoroughly. I would take him again!

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.

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.

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.
