Comment:

Dr. Chapman is a great, caring guy and an absolute genius. He is very good at separating what is useful and leaving out the rest for software engineers (since architecture gets into electrical engineering sometimes). All tests and quizzes are allow Google use (like the real world) which is awesome! Overall, very pleasant experience!

Comment:

Dr. Chapman is a genius in regards to computer architecture, but unlike usual professors who are experts in their fields, he teaches and grades on a level that an undergrad can keep up with. In addition, his projects and tests require only a fairly basic understanding of the material to get a pretty good grade, unlike many compsci courses here.

Comment:

Great guy, could squish a small city with his feet if he wanted to, but my boy Chapman is a gentle giant. He's also a genius, and a great teacher. All tests, quizzes, and assignments are open note, book, and internet. Write down everything he puts on the board in class, do the practice exams before tests, and you'll be fine.

Comment:

A very nice guy. I didn't know what was going on in the class but ended up doing okay in the end. The tests are open book open note which is good but it's still easy to do poorly if you don't understand how to work the problems. Work the practice tests and focus on the main concepts and you should be fine.

Great teacher, really smart guy. Willing to help whenever you need it. Oh yeah, and he's friggin ginormous. Besides my fears that he might eat the entire class for breakfast, no complaints.

Chapman is the smartest professor i've ever had; one of the nicest too, and i'm a fifth year senior. His tests are pretty hard. I failed the first one even though i studied my @ss off, but i'm a moron.
