Ah, computer security. Until recently Berkeley didn't even have a class in this. Thanks to Tygar and Joseph, now it does. And the class is a good one.

Comment:

I took Prof. Tygar's computer security course (co-taught with Prof. Joseph). I have to say this was my favorite course this year. The lectures were very well presented and the projects were great. One problem is that the midterms were a little broader than I would like and the grading on them seemed a bit arbitrary But overall, it was great!

Comment:

He taught a new course; this was a quant methods course for the School of Information. He covered a lot of material, and rather fast, but it was useful for me and I learned a lot. Good lectures and very available for one-on-one discussions

Tygar couldn't teach. I learned very little from his lectures. I learned more from reading the text book. The class should be optional. I would not take it if it was not required.

Not a good professor. Not interested in teaching. Unfriendly and unhelpful. Two thumbs down.
