Winter 2021 - Nachenberg & Smallberg are legends. Just here to boost their ratings. Fun story: just before the last lecture, I left a message on Slido asking Carey to invite David as a guest host for once. It turned out that Carey did tell David, and we finally got to see both of them (virtually) at the same time. For me, it was probably the best moment of the whole quarter.

Fall 2024 - I had Howard for CS31, and I still like him a lot. Again, his lectures are boring sometimes, but he really tries to break things down for you to understand better. He sometimes speaks in his own way (“garbage-y values” “hair pins < >”), so you’ll have to get used to his language because he’s the one writing the exam. He is very helpful in office hours, so if you have any questions go ahead and ask him! Be warned though, he does have his own interpretation of some things (like what quadratic probing is) that may differ from the general definition, but if you bring it up to him he’ll admit the difference and either change his definition or accept both answers. The class should be pretty doable, but a friendly warning is don’t rely on ChatGPT too much because you do need to understand the projects for the exams. And, don’t copy paste your friend’s code! There are consequences for clear cheating (some people in our class got caught… so rip)!!!
