Quizes are hard - she doesn't tell you what will be on it - so you just have to guess and hope for the best.

Dugan is a very good professor who cares about her class and students. While the material may be difficult at first/along the way, if you come to class/pay attention the quizzes and tests will almost certainly be stuff you have already seen. She also allowed your final to replace your midterms if you scored high enough, which is always awesome. The final was pretty tough but fair.

The labs are free grades and the weekly quizzes aren't bad if you take good notes in lecture. The midterms and final are largely based off of the quizzes so those didn't end up being too hard either. The book homework isn't required but it had a lot of quality practice problems so it was really helpful for studying

Prof Dugan is one of the best and most fair professors at UVA. Digital Logic Design, in general, is not very interesting; however, Dugan tries to make lectures fun. She certainly knows her stuff.

It is not very good to achieve a good grade in this class. Stay on top of the material and go to class and you'll be fine.

Professor is very helpful and is willing to help you in any way possible. If attendance is lacking she will throw in some pop quiz (easy stuff) so it pays to show up to class, as it will pay off in the end.

I feel like this is definitely a class in which you can get an A if you go to class and pay attention. You will not be able to pass this class UNLESS you go to class and do so. That's because the professor doesn't really follow the book. Definitely a worthwhile class though- and Professor Dugan has great enthusiasm.

Class gets exponentially more boring as the semester progresses. Coincidentally, earlier material is easy but gets harder. Go to class, pay attention and you'll be fine.

Her lectures are not very good at all. Often she gets lost in her own problems, many technical difficulties with the technology in rice and she is not very thorough in her explanations. Also it is almost impossible to hear her talk in class, might as well go home and turn up my computer volume to 100% and rewatch the lectures. That is something she does do well though- post all lectures and slides she went over in class. Also she counts 10 out of the 20+ quizzes we have in the class, so it is not too difficult to get decent grades in her class. Also she goes out of her way to try to help you understand the material, which is always nice. Work is standard e-school load. TAs are decent.

Dugan is a fair professor. She gives 20 or so quizzes (about half were pop quizzes), and only takes the top ten grades. The material, however, was tedious, but if you understand the material, you will get a good grade, because her tests are fairly straightforward. She also posts all the in class notes online, so attendance is not necessary at all.

Easily the best class I took this semester. Professor Dugan is fantastic and the course material is really, really interesting. Take this class.
