deserves much higher ratings. He makes difficult stuff so graspable and easy to understand. Kruegel guest taught 1 lecture & made the stuff sound like a foreign language. The lecture slides are crazy detailed, great to study from, and he's funny. Ask questions in lecture and DON'T PROCRASTINATE ON PROJECTS. 160 is hard, be focused. prof b da 🐐

I loved CS160 and Bultan was a caring, passionate, and knowledgeable instructor. However, you need to bring your A game to the lectures. Really pay attention and ask more questions than you're used to asking. He goes fast and sometimes gets lost or confused. If you don't develop deep understanding, the homework will punish you for it.

He must've changed a lot bc the other reviews arent accurate. You can tell he puts a lot of effort into teaching the course. EXTREMELY detailed lecture slides, thorough ELI5 & generous w late hw. Kruegel is bad at explaining and Ben H had impossible projects, so def take 160 with Bultan if you can. 160 is hard in general but he's great at teaching.

Lectures are boring & not related to homework. Class content is all over the place and not very useful to be honest. Thankfully, course is not required anymore.

The material is quite difficult and he expects us to apply it fully in tests, despite not covering applying it during lecture. Lectures are too theoretical compared to the tests. Homework assignments are a bit messy, but not too bad.

Really great CS professor! Very good at explaining complicated concepts

The weekly individual programming assignments are absolutely killer. Half the time the TAs had no idea how to help you so you were on your own. They were extremely time consuming so I suggest you start immediately. Tests were fairly easy but he promised to curve the class at the end and he did not, so don't expect any curve.

Decent teacher but much room for improvement. Lectures can feel confusing and drawn out. Half the homework was graded by a buggy and unreliable website.

Bultan is a very wise and experienced computer programmer who is unfit at teaching a lower division computer science class. His expertise better suits upper division CS classes with students who are pursuing the major. He is a friendly, approachable guy, but he just wasn't the best at teaching CS 16. Expect three killer group programs.
