Nowatzki is an amazing professor (and an even better Overwatch player). He is super kind and made this class much more bearable. The actual content of this class is wildly different from CS31 and 32, so don't come into 33 expecting to use Xcode or anything like that. You will literally only write like 30 lines of code over the entire course. Everything is very conceptual and you actually need to understand the concepts to apply them. Nowatzki is also very VERY generous with grading and curves the class and tests a ridiculous amount. It is nearly impossible to fail this class and considering the material, that is a miracle. TLDR: take Nowatzki because he is the best 33 professor to ever exist. Also shoutout Aditya! (the best TA ever!)

Tony is just amazing. I'm hoping he teaches M151B one day.

Tony is undoubtedly my favorite professor at UCLA. He is very passionate about the material and makes lectures very interesting and engaging. Projects take a lot less time than CS32, although the material is a bit harder conceptually.
His exams have low averages, although don’t be worried, I got C’s on both exams still very comfortably got an A in the class.
There is a lot of extra credit on exams and projects, and office hours/ discussions are super helpful.

I really liked Professor Nowatzki! He's a fair professor and his lectures are engaging, even if the subject matter can be complicated. The projects don't take too much time and can actually be really fun with the scoreboards and everything. The class is very heavy on material, however, so make sure to stay on top of your work!

Tony is an amazing professor and person. He is super helpful during office hours. The TAs are also really helpful for projects. For exams, make sure to do the practice problems.

Tony is the GOAT and I mean it. Best class I have taken at UCLA. He is an extremely good lecturer and he will explain things in a way that makes sense and will spend time helping students understand in class, He has amazing slides as well that are super useful. Personally, I did not read the textbook as I feel everything he teaches in class and in discussion is sufficient (except perhaps you should know the basics of C programming going in - malloc, pointers, strings, etc: be able to print "Hello world!" with a dynamically allocated (malloc) string and you are good). He is for sure the BEST CS33 professor you could ask for.
