Spring 2023 - Apparently a very controversial take but ngl Prof Zhang is great. she knows her stuff so well and has been around networking absolutely forever, all the way back to foundational first generation work at Berkeley when they were just starting everything. it’s frankly crazy she’s still teaching undergrads at all, but she’s a wealth of knowledge. not an easy class by any means but if you’re someone who already knows a bit about networking and want a great depth, this would be the class and prof for you!

Spring 2022 - The professor is so "helpful" in a way that you could learn everything on your own by simply reading the required papers. Her homework's based on those papers, her quizzes are based on those papers, and she gets impatient when you ask questions, telling you to "re-read those (extremely long) papers" without specifying which parts she wants you to re-read. For every class, she assigns several required long readings, which take more time than her lecture if you read everything through. If I could read and remember all those papers with ease, I would never be sitting in this class. I came here to get help from a knowledgeable person who should be able to clarify my misunderstandings, not to be instructed on re-reading papers. She's acting more like a librarian than a professor. Also, her voice is small and she has no microphone. You can barely hear her if you are sitting behind the 3rd line.
