Overall, Tine was very nice as an instructor, but let's just say that his exams were brutal. I don't know what the EFF I was taking when I took the final; that's all I can say.

He's an ok m151b professor. Just some comments:
- The homework is autograded bruinlearn quizzes, and 20% of our grade. I highly recommend crashing office hours to confirm answers. Most were averaged around 90-95%.
- Projects were really cool imo, and decent amount of support was provided, in addition to execution debug traces to help with debugging the projects. It does require reading a bunch of code someone else wrote to figure out how to do things (definitely use an IDE with autocomplete!), but they were fun! One project had an extra credit component that was fairly easy to do.
- Lecture attendance is mandatory! He uses a google form + codeword system, which can easily be gamed if you have someone who does attend, but really sucks for a 6-8pm class (at least this quarter)
- Exams were similar to homework, but nothing directly copied from it. Averages are fairly low due to the ambiguous multiple choice and calculation questions for 90% of the points with no partial credit, but the exams are a total of 40% of your grade and I suspect he will curve.

TL;DR take this class with Nader if you can in the Fall, but not the end of the world if you have to take with Tine.

Tine is a new prof (as of time of writing) and his class def has some parts that could use polishing, but I overall like the class.

Pros
- Homework relatively easy, mostly multiple choice quizzes
- I like the focus on RISC-V instead of CISC architectures
- Discusses practical things and macroscopic architecture trends in class instead of just theory
- Fairly interactive and engaging
- Exams were easy - BruinLearn quizzes, administered in person (you use your own laptop)

Cons
- Project was janky. Your code doesn't actually implement a CPU; for some parts you're only implementing the out of order scheduler timings to print things in the right order
- Exams were messy; prof had to constantly make clarifications
