Professor Sherwood's lectures can be a bit all over the place and unfocused, but the explanations are generally helpful. Labs are challenging, but not impossible. The midterm and final are reasonable.

Professor Sherwood is a spectacular professor and one of my fsv

FAVORITE CS PROFESSOR!! I've always been horrible at hardware but Sherwood made it so understandable, his lectures are so thorough and well paced. I put in effort but got a good grade in this class without having to stress. Weirdest thing is that I even remember what he taught long after I've taken the class. He made Assembly really interesting.

45% final, 30% lab, 25% midterm (replaced by final if final score is better). The class pacing was not insanely fast, but it made me understand all topics very deeply. Lectures were really good too, professor is very passionate about what he teaches. Focus and go to all lectures, and study a little bit for tests and class should be no problem.

Great professor with amazing knowledge and a lecture style that helps students understand the material and engage with the class. Connects with students and helps them through rough concepts. Friendly with truly enjoyable lectures.

His lectures are so so slow but Sherwood's a nice person and his love for teaching and the subject material is evident. Some labs are harder than others, but most are easy and take at max a few hours to complete. 70% of the grade is tests but they're straightforward if you understand the labs. Posts lectures online so I recommend ditching lectures.

Professor Sherwoods lectures were great, and his lecture slides posted afterwards were even better. He connected concepts we were learning to the real world which was interesting and inspirational. 30% labs, 25% midterm and 45% final but would replace midterm with final if improvement was shown. Labs were tough but doable. Great professor!

Best CS professor Ive had in the department, his lectures are so so informative and I feel like I learned a lot. Labs arent too difficult if you start early.

pretty good at lecturing, his slides are really helpful for learning the content. the quizzes were reasonable and the final was really similar to everything we covered in the hws. a few coding assignments in mips were confusing but going to his office hours really helps. overall a nice guy, def recommend!

An all-around good prof who clearly cares for his students and does his best to make lectures as interactive and engaging as possible.

One of the best teachers in the CS department. Very good at explaining the difficult material. Has a great sense of humor. Just an overall great professor.

Super nice guy. very understandable. start early on projects because concepts are very easy to say/explain but difficult to actually implement. projects also build on eachother so make sure you FINISH them even if its after the deadline. tests are very reasonable if you did/understand projects and homeworks.
