The course covered a lot of interesting topics, but since there were few homeworks and no exams you'll only learn if you engage with the material yourself. Chris was exceptionally approachable and a genuinely caring/considerate person. Lectures were organized really well and not too hard to follow. I highly recommend taking any class with him.

He's new to Cornell so, he was not well adjusted to teach CS 4780. Killian is much better and completely took over the course towards the end of the semester.

Genuinely enjoyed almost every lecture. Covered a good range of material, and the problem sets and programming assignments did a decent job of forcing you to understand it.
