Spring 2016[edit | edit source]
Taught by Prof. Pabitra Mitra and Prof. Partha P Chakrabarti This is a 5-credit course so consists of a Lab component along witht the Theory classes. The option to take this course comes first in sixth semester for Computer Science students, of which most of them enroll (96+ in a batch of 110). The lab component consists of 2 individual assignments and 2 group assignments, which are a great learning experience where you create something of potential value. The exams are relatively easy to score and given the scores, the number of Ex's and A's are not few. The exams mostly require to write boolean equations or draw decision trees. No theoritical answers. Kaustubhhiware (talk)
