Comment:
For your own good, do not take this course unless you really want to spend a huge amount of time reading 4 papers every week and spend tens of hours on the project. Not to mention the annoying homework. The professor is nice, but the workload is really off the charts. I would not recommend this course. Literally too much to do.

Great professor. Took grad operating systems with him. Loved the coursework and the subject. Very adult about his expectations. Open book finals, fairly easy. Grading was a little harsh although. Given a chance, I would take the subject. Pretty demanding course, but worth it.

Simply said, he is a brilliant professor. I was astonished how deep his knowledge is. I loved his class. It's tough, but you learn a lot. And he is there for you if you're stuck. He is the only professor at CS department that I know of who goes down to the labs to help out students. His TAs were not much help though.

Prof. Voelker is a very good teacher, except his dry humor (but I enjoy it, haha). The lecture is very clear and helpful, the project is a little bit hard but very interesting. I sincerely recommend this course and this professor.

The course is a lot of work but it's a great experience. 125 is really what you make of it, and what part of the game you do.

Comment:
Fairly tough class, and very time-consuming because of the group PA's, but you really learn a lot. Geoff is a good teacher (although his voice is sometimes a little too soothing), and the exams stay true to the material he covers. Put the time and effort into the homework and programming assignments and you'll do well.

Comment:
One of the best teachers I have had at UCSD. Takes the time to explain all the wonders of an Operating System. Book is not required as he gives full problem sets (although it may be helpful). Projects are tough, but are useful to understanding. Exams are representative of material and make sure to go to lecture.

The Game Class! Geoff was a great professor... even if he doesn't really have to do much for that course (no lectures & no exams). He's a really nice guy too. While it's true that the class was a lot of work, it was really fun and I learned a lot. Don't pass up an opportunity to take it.

Great Teacher. Projects are a lot of work, a LOT. Midterm and Final are very detailed, easy to make a lot of dumb mistakes.

At first I almost dropped because the class seemed really hard. But Prof. Voelker is so helpful and, to be honest, SEXY, that I decided to stay!
