I had Karp for 174 last semester and enjoyed the class. Some other people complained that it wasn't quite what they were expecting. As for 172, friends of mine who normally dislike theory claim to have really liked it, but I haven't taken it yet since nobody good has taught it for a while. If you're into theory, it might be worth taking them both at once, since the period of the "good professor/less good professor" cycle is sometimes longer than it should be.
