Starts out easy with basic memory models, then goes into topics which are more challenging and important. To maximize grade and learning, make sure to do all the assignments. Labs were moderately helpful, but not that much. Take advantage of office hours. Make sure to get comfortable with I/O to synchronization, the last part of the course.

Teaches stuff that won't really be used for many jobs. Assignments are super heavy. midterms are unnecessarily hard.

registers, memory, threading

mumbles in the preclass video recordings but I don't know about in person.

Do not take more than 4 classes at once when taking this.

Very hard course and useful for CPSC 313. Might not use this course as a web developer though.

Assembly, threads, C

Helped on piazza. Lots of TAs on piazza

Take time to learn C. Starts assignments very early. It can take a week to complete the assignments.

This course is pretty damn hard. Assignments are easily the biggest time burner of the course. With that said, I like the way Prof Mike Feeley teaches the course and I enjoyed the course despite it being stressful and strenuous.
