I had him back in 1997 in CS61A. Will never forget that class. It was way oversubscribed due to some administrative issue. So he had the whole class on Day 1 take a test: Write a app in any language you know to solve the Tower of Hanoi (http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~shidi/cs61a/wiki/Towers_of_Hano...). Whoever passed it was in the class.
It was damn intimidating. My first ever lecture in my first ever class at Berkeley, first time at a university and first time in America. I'm still a little proud I could do it back then.
