Professor
Blaise Tine
Most Helpful Review
Winter 2024 - Tine is a new prof (as of time of writing) and his class def has some parts that could use polishing, but I overall like the class. Pros - Homework relatively easy, mostly multiple choice quizzes - I like the focus on RISC-V instead of CISC architectures - Discusses practical things and macroscopic architecture trends in class instead of just theory - Fairly interactive and engaging - Exams were easy - BruinLearn quizzes, administered in person (you use your own laptop) Cons - Project was janky. Your code doesn't actually implement a CPU; for some parts you're only implementing the out of order scheduler timings to print things in the right order - Exams were messy; prof had to constantly make clarifications
