next term should be fun.. got some pretty decent profs.

Econ 102 - Larry smith. Recognized by many as "the best prof ever!". I think he's won the prof-of-the-(arbitrary-time-chunk) award x times, where x is big.

ECE 427 - William Bishop. Seems like a pretty cool dude. I'd heard some not-so-good things from '08 class about his SE 141 behavior, but ratemyprofs seems to contradict that. I'll assume he's good, particularly since this is a non-frosh course. Also, he's gonna be teaching the '09 class SE 141 next term too. Cool!

CS 343 - Peter Buhr. (THE guy for concurrency)(?). Or so I've heard. I haven't read mathNEWS this term, but if i recall, he shows up pretty often in the profQUOTES. can't be all that bad.

SE 362 - Norm Young. aka Associate Director of Software Engineering. aka my academic advisor (of sorts). when i met him at frosh week, he seemed to be the total opposite of matt armstrong (former associate director). his lack of administrative acumen also supports this. therefore, i conclude he's gonna be a good prof.

SE 382 - William Cowan. Hm.. haven't heard too much about him. the ratemyprofs seems to be so-so. looks like a forgettable prof. on the bright side, that means he can't have done anything terribly bad.

SOC 232 - John Goyder. I'm taking this course distance ed, so it doesn't really matter. but meh, seems to be a good guy.

CS 444 - I didn't actually get into compilers, but I'll probably sit in on the lectures. Hurd (aka Cormack) is teaching, as usual. good stuff.
