CS190B . 1 Year, 7 Days Ago

I really enjoyed the class. It is one of the few CS classes at UCSB that feel like they actually would matter in industry. The midterm was hard, and the slides are long making it harder to review. The labs take time to finish, but with enough effort and reading anyone can get an A on them. The quarter long project was really interesting.

Prof. Krintz's 190B class was genuinely one of my favorite classes at UCSB. The class was extremely hard and pulled a lot of information from every other CS class (Databases, Comp Architecture, Networking, etc...), but the content we learned was highly applicable and useful. Lectures were amazing and engaging, labs were hard, project was fun.

First time this class (IoT Systems) is offered. Prof Krintz is super passionate about IoT. The lectures cover a wide range of topics like Arduino and MCUs, networking protocols, and radios. The lectures are engaging, labs are fun and very useful, and group projects are self-paced, and she is always there to give assistance. Can't recommend enough

CS48 is a project class. We have teammates evaluation and counted for like 10%. But Prof. Krintz showed us how much you got from your teammates evaluation, which is awful.

Chandra is awesome! I believe that this was her first time teaching CS48, but she was absolutely amazing. Very passionate, very high energy, very nice if you talk to her. Requirements were generally pretty clear, but she also gives you a lot of freedom. If you apply yourself in the class, you will learn a LOT. If not, you won't get much from it.

She is an excellent lecturer and exam material is very straightforward. There are few homework assignments but the last few labs take about three hours each, which is fine considering 25% of your final grades is homework and lab. I strongly recommend this course

There isn't much more to say than this: she really is one of the best professors on campus. I used to be an English major, her amazing teaching really motivated me to switch course.

One of the best Professors I've come across in my life. Lectures are highly engaging, course structuring is perfect for grad students. The papers assigned for reading are very interesting and explores all important aspects of PL runtimes.

One of the best in the computer science department. She is very clear about what material she expects you to know before the tests. Not much homework, labs are a little difficult but not impossible. Very helpful during office hours and easy to understand during lecture.

A really good teacher who is enthusiastic about what she does and always available to help during office hours. Prints out lecture slide for you, exams are hard but they are easy to study for because she throughly outlines what will be on them in class. And the labs are challenging enough but not IMPOSSIBLE which is nice.

I agree with the last comment, shes too hyper, makes you attend class, because, you know, watching her explode over programming is the only thing you should be doing with your life. grades too hard. the materials a joke. she just needs to validate her position by grading harder than the material calls for.

this is an upper division course, yet attendance was required. even worse, the 75 minute class you sit through contains about 10 minutes of material. talks fast and eccentrically making it difficult to tell whether she loves programming, or is just snorting a bag of cocaine before lecture. avoid this class if you take more than 4 units a quarter.
