Tufts University: David Krumme - Computer Science - Professor ratings, reviews and much more | JumboAccess
Review:
Professor Krumme is an expert on C++. His class was very well structured, and he was very enthusiastic about the subject. He is overall an excellent professor. The class is not just an overview of C++ -- it assumes that you have basic knowledge of it, and then explores the very intricate aspects of the language and its application.
Workload:
The tests (3 of them) and programming projects (about 6) were intense. A very large work load. Also, small homework?s were issued (10% of grade), which were frequently not applicable to the course material.

Review:
I don't know why one should review Krumme considering that he is now retired, but I would like to say that he is the best professor I have had. He is not only brilliant, funny, and fair, but also he is very passionate about his subject, which becomes clear in the structure of the course.
Workload:
Intense programming projects and extremely difficult, mind-bending tests make this course a huge work-load. It is considered by many to be the course that "makes or breaks" a comp. sci. major.

Review:
This course is not for the faint of heart. Projects are intense, and tests are difficult. Krumme built an interface to a mock processing unit for students to learn the internals of computing and control through assembly language. The result is dazzling. Students are thrown in the deep end, forced to manually manipulate registers, memory, and input/output devices. The students are not without adequate help from the professor and TAs, but sometimes the projects are not fully thought through before they are assigned.
If you think you are a hotshot programmer, this course will quickly give you a reality check. Krumme is always up for a fairly sadistic challenge.
Workload:
The grading is based on a few reasonable tests and several very difficult assembly language projects. The real-time online grader can be unforgiving, but after completing this class, you will have learned a great deal about computer architecture.
