Reviews of professor Jason Lowe-Power

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Jason was a great professor, his class really shows he cares for the students and the material. Lectures were important to show up too. Weekly quizzes which weren't too bad and you had unlimited attempts to get the perfect grade. Fair exams and assignments had clear instructions. Overall great class, great communication and fair teacher.

If you want to waste your life, you are in the right place.

This professor didn't care of how hard you try to do your hw or try to debug the errors in source codes.

Just right and wrong on your hw and exam grades.

Want to go to office hours?
Nobody cares about you.

Unorganized, too little time for exams, homework are not related with the lecture, and you HAVE to study on your own and not expecting anything from him, use ChatGPT to answer questions

Great professor, and has excellent lectures. Personally, the assignments and projects were clearly defined and planned to give enough time for students to complete and learn. I personally was a bit intimidated with using Chisel, but with the materials given and good support from the TAs, I learned a lot. Take him if you get the chance!

If you want to learn about Comp Arch then please take this class. But the course load will be brutal and you will be working a lot for it. The grad class complained a lot about the workload but the most he did was extend the deadline a few days. For the grad class he had 12 Quizzes, 2 Exams, 5 Assignments (2x days per Assignment), 10 Paper Readings

Final and exam are not easy. Jason cares about his students. His TAs care about students. Although I don't recommend this class because it can be challenging, I recommend Jason. He is a good professor.

Heard this course is hard, but if you do put efforts on this class, you will be rewarded both grade and knowledge in computer architecture.

Professor Lowe-Power is one of the best lecturers there is. Is the material easy? Absolutely not. Are the assignments complex and long. Yeah. But you learn A LOT! No matter where you work in the programming stack, understanding topics learned in this course is crucial to make better use of the available resources. Great readings and fair exams.
