Midterms are over, but things are not getting any better, I think. I'm not sure I like this quarter system, it goes so fast. You basically have two months to acquire a solid understanding of a subject, along with other subjects.
But, I did great in architecture, got a 91 on the midterm and full score for my first project, the branch predictor. Otherwise, things kinda suck here. I understood nil during my bioinformatics lecture on protein structure, as the teacher sped through his standard 200 something slides. Every once in a while he would skip a slide and say "but you know all this anyway, from your biochemistry class ... ". Like, not?! Duh!
My operating systems class is usually fun though. Even if it's probably the nerdiest class I've taken sofar. (There is however another girl in the class ...) The teacher has a lot of insights into the material to share with us. And it's interesting stuff: history of OSs, what are good features in an OS, why do some lacking OSs survive while others don't, why have some problems not been properly solved yet, why do some brilliant solutions not take foothold with us ...
Sometimes the teacher wears a poncho too! In case that matters to anyone ...
