Professor Miguel Matos made the theoretical classes really interesting. The material is also engaging, especially for those who enjoy topics like scalability and evaluating systems. In my opinion, it's important for anyone interested in the SD area and computer systems overall.
The project was about evaluating a system of your choice using what we learned in class. Since it was open-ended, the difficulty level is up to you. In my opinion, the trick is to pick a system that's easy to deploy in Docker and one where the performance gets worse with more...
ESLE is a very interesting course. I actually consider it really important, especially if you're thinking about doing research in distributed systems. It's not more demanding than SEC.
The project was interesting, though since it was open-ended, each group ended up with a different system, so the lab professor gave more general support.
The exam is similar to SEC in structure, but in my opinion, the material itself isn't as complex.
