Excellent Professor

Lectures are dense.

Very enjoyable lectures

I am about 10 lectures in and I appreciate this series. The first few lectures were a helpful way to reestablish my fundamentals. I found the section that implemented a stack in C to be a bit long-winded, but immediately after I enjoyed the discussion of the heap. I will update if I have any more comments, but overall have enjoyed the lectures, the speaker, and the examples.

Great teacher

This professor is excellent at expressing some complicated ideas in easy to understand ways. After five "episodes" there is not a thing I don't understand. No idea what's the one and two star ratings are looking for, this is exactly what a PLP course should cover.

Great lectures

I watched a good number of these lectures. They are amazing . In depth discussion on pointers ,function call convention, code generation and many other fund low level and arch related topics. Thanks to all those who made them available.
