- frozenport 10y agoThe university course is also a joke, except for the project, which is "what you make of it".
- oplav 10y agoI took the course at UIUC (ECE 408) 2 years ago. While the assignments weren't too challenging, I thought they were thorough in covering the material from class, and the material from class came straight from Professor Hwu's book. Plus, the final exam was extremely harsh so I wouldn't have called it a joke.
- frozenport 10y agoCompared to the physics classes or that algorithm class, I put my brain on auto-pilot. Sure, the final was hard but mostly because I didn't have time to write code in a word document, and people who went to the official exam area actually got significantly more time (I took it a few years before you). Many things were missing from that class, including how to improve performance by ensuring that warp receives the optimal data size, for example by using float4. I could have learned the same stuff by looking at his MOOC - which is what OP got bored of doing.
