4.0 out of 5 starsSpring 2025Prof. BlantonWould take again

Systems programming is no joke. You go from Python to C and MIPS assembly and its a huge jump. But Prof Blanton is great at breaking down complex topics. The labs are where you really learn - debugging segfaults at 2am builds character lol. Seriously though this class made me a much better programmer.

Tip: Learn GDB early. It will save your life on the later assignments.

Every review is free to read. Took CSE 220? Adding one takes about two minutes.
