Student reviews of Sharon Smith Weber
Review from a student who took CS 372
Probably the "easiest" O/S teacher now from what I hear. Her lectures aren't particulary interesting (kind of a slide reader), but I also think that can be attributed more to the material. O/S in general is pretty dull. She seems to explain things much better in office hours, but there isn't really a need to go since there isn't too much that is conceptually hard in the class. The tests were fair, not very difficult. I only considered one of the projects extremely difficult out of three (simulating job scheduling on a multiprocessor system using threads) and that was still accomplishable as long as you started early enough. Not great, but not a bad teacher overall.
