He basically saved the BGP Measurements project by putting in a lot of effort into an autograding script and being so responsive on Slack and Ed. The TA’s were absolutely incredible, particularly Erick. And honestly in reflection, I thoroughly enjoyed it along the way. I had zero networking experience or knowledge prior to this course, but am walking out of it thinking that I could at least hold a semi-intelligent conversation with a networking/cloud engineer now. Third course in the program for me, almost 2 years of professional SWE experience, and a limited foundational educational background in CS. I’ll start by saying: there’s a reason that this is the most reviewed course on OMSCentral. Overall a very well done course, if you are interested in the material The workload of the course is not high, and if motivated, can be paired with a similar difficulty course, without undue stress. If you go through the material, it should be possible to score well on quiz and exams as well. I really wanted to learn the material, and this structure helped me. The mechanism of having weekly quiz and two exams were good in reinforcing the material. I did not do the extra credit assignment, but it seems to be an extension of the BGP measurements project. If you spend sufficient time on the assignments, read through discussion threads and try out extra test scenarios, it should be possible to get full points on it. The assignments helps the material stick with you. The assignments are fairly straightforward if you spend time beforehand to understand the material. The teaching staff including the professor were very helpful in the course. Some of the course material including SDN, Audio/Video performance would have taken a lot of work to understand without the course. The breadth of course, and the exposure to cutting edge research in the field, has been very good in getting to understand the field and where it is going. I came from working in the general field, but did not have all of the fundamentals before the course. The computer networks course has been a great course.
