It seems lecture 27 is not available. Can anybody check that out? Second question, is this graduate level or undergraduate? P.S. Thank you so much for providing this.

> Second question, is this graduate level or undergraduate?

The course can be taken as part of a master's degree[1].

I have watched many of these and I have to say Onur Mutlu is excellent. I have watched his lectures from CMU as well ETH. It must be fantastic attend these in person. I am curious does anyone more about him and his background?

His PhD thesis was Runahead execution IIRC.

A lot of my friends took his class at CMU. They said it was hard but they learnt a lot :)

He was recently a visiting researcher in my sister team at Google. Even though I didn't take his class, he was very approachable and was glad to meet another CMU person. It was a big loss to CMU when he left IMO.

I took the course this year. Prof Mutlu is a fantastic teacher, I learned a lot but the course was a lot of effort, especially the labs. Nevertheless, best course I took at ETH so far.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

For ETH it's getting close to amazing, as you'll pretty much never reach a 6.

Depends. At least for EE there's a big difference between the courses that are supposed to filter the students (usually years 1 and 2) and those that don't. For the latter a high grade like 5.75 or even 6 was doable, for the former the time limit and amount of material to study is so harsh that I wouldn't even know where to start to achieve that.

The undergraduate courses in Theoretical physics at the ETH are done with books (e.g. Goldstein: Classical Mechanics, Jackson: Eletrodynamics...) which are PhD Level in the US.

As far as I can recall lecture 27 was mostly exam logistics, course feedback and private discussions about what courses to take and what kind of projects are available within the group. So really no point in having it public..

Thank you so much, so right now I feel relieved I am not missing anything.

Physics study at ETH is notoriously hard, but that’s not what you get at CS AFAIK.
