I took this course with Hug many years ago. He's a truly gifted educator and I learned so much from the projects.

I took this so many years ago I can't remember who taught it. Paul Hilfinger maybe? Microvax assembly language was a big part of the course, IIRC.

101 is a beginners course. What is 61B?

At Berkeley, course numbers >100 are upper-division, and those <100 are lower-division, introductory classes. Especially in the CS department, the upper-division courses are far from introductory. 61B is the the second in the 61A-B-C series, which is required for all CS majors. (A fourth lower-division class, CS 70 ("Discrete Mathematics and Probability"), is also required, but is independent of the 61 series.)

I took it two semesters ago with Hilfinger and sadly didn’t have any Microvax in it. You might be thinking of 61C, which deals more with computer architecture.
