CS 4753

Make sure to try the mock patent trial. It is still one of the best learning experiences I have had at UVA to date.

Good class - and not hard at all.

he talks w/ a cotton ball in his mouth, easiest cs class in life

PHP sucked. Make sure you learn it before you go take this class.

be sure to do well on the tech tutorial, the grading is completely subjective
he basically teaches nothing, half of the lectures are guest lectures

Weaver is a cool guy and knows what's up. His co-professor, Liyila Besalva, doesn't. Decent class though.

Awesome professor, interesting lecture topics, It helps if you know web programming coming it but if you can work independently it isn't hard. Work load is pretty light outside of the projects.

The course covers broadly some (random) topics not usually covered in computer science courses, and are all fairly interesting. The professor is very friendly, and really wants class participation, but the class itself is all usually not paying attention so it's an awkward dynamic. The exams are more difficult than I anticipated, and the projects are pretty straightforward. Find a decent group and you'll be fine.

This class was not very programming heavy, but it did cover some interesting topics in computing. You didn't have to pay attention in class except to take the (super easy) 3 question quizzes at the beginning of each class. All of the information is on the powerpoints, and the final exam was open note.

There is a pretty intense semester-long project based around creating your own ecommerce business, but as long as you do not procrastinate and choose group members who know how to write it would be fine. This class was a great choice for me because I was in other classes that required much more programming and this was a nice break.

This class is not too difficult, and the material is very interesting. You do a semester project using Python and Django, which are not covered in the course. However, the project is not too big a deal, and the exams are easy. Overall, this course is highly recommended for any CS or CpE major.
