I enjoyed the contents of the course, but the professor isn't the most engaging

literally everything we know about space - how stars are born and how they die, where our elements come from, what galaxies, planets, stars are made of, where supernovas come from, and a bit of info on black holes and potential extraterrestrial life

He's...fine. You can tell he's passionate about the topic, but he just kind of,,talks at you. He reads the slide, adds a little bit to it, next slide, rinse and repeat. I don't think it was all his fault, but I couldn't get too engaged. Reading on my own got me more engaged

Study HARD for the exams. I've never consistently made below a C on exams before this class. Make a GroupMe and help each other, you're all you got

Really easy course. Probably the only hurdle is the research project at the end of the course, but even that is easy

Going over the ethics of essentially everything tech (network communications, information privacy, intellectual property, network security, computer reliability, etc.) There's a discussion post and a quiz almost every week on each chapter until the final weeks with the research project. The research project is essentially picking a topic that can relate back to the course and its ethical issues.

She's quite clear with what you need to do. If you're getting points off, the rubric or a comment will tell you why. Gives good feedback on the 2 parts of the research project. Overall she's as clear as she could be

Just do what's asked, it's such a simple course. You won't even need gen ai to help you

Pretty fun course, towards the end I wasn't too interested in the topics, but it was quite helpful

Labs working with different protocols on Linux VMs (FTP, SSH, Telnet, CUPS, HTTP, etc.), working with changing file information on a Linux server and knowing why and how to change it properly (DNS, DHCP, SSH). Bringing it all together to understand how these help make the internet work and keep networks secure

Really awesome professor, so sad he's retiring, but happy for him. He was quite clear in grading criteria, he'd give and go over study guides for each exam, and he even brought in one of his friends to discuss certifications. We're losing a real one

Go in with an understanding in Linux. You'll get that from ITE 382 but you need to know commands, how to edit files and save them (using nano or vi), and how to start and stop processes

Content is quite boring, but is useful to know

You're mostly going over how to design a proper interface and what goes into designing one, including the problem space, usability goals, UX goals, as well as interface styles and interaction types. It's important stuff to know, especially if you're doing the web design focus track, but man is it boring. Even the online lecture speaker sounded like they wanted to sleep, they talked at 1 dB the whole time

Probably one of the best in the SoC. Gave examples in class to explain concepts (since he essentially does this for his real job), went over each part of the individual project and answered any questions. He was quite lenient with exams and explained what to fix in each part of the individual project before the final submission. Really great professor

Don't wait until the last minute for any part of the individual project. It's quite tedious but at the end, it'll just be a Ctrl+C Ctrl+V fest for IP7. Pick an application you'd actually like to design, I found it boring but fun to do the project because of that
