14. Use this space for any comments you may have about the course, the instructor, readings, etc.

Instructor had clear knowledge and grasp of the material but wasnt very effective in communicating that knowledge to students.
Very good course. The instructor taught in a format appropriate to graduate students.
The lectures were great. The notes (slides) were not. I thought the homeworks helped to drill in material better than the first 2 projects did. I thought the last few lectures were rushed to squeeze in extra material and would rather have spent a little more time on compilers (especially examples to help illustrate the more difficult concepts) than on the new material. I believe better slides would have the greatest impact on the course's quality. Overall, good job. Thanks - I learned a lot.
