Solid and easy course. It's super useful and a nice extra course if you have a packed schedule. I however did not like the fact that it was asynchronous and did not like the group discussion section worksheets. 4/5

This was a very good class, you have to work somewhat hard, there is a project at the end, but the homework truly prepares you for it.

Definitely take PIC 16A with Perlmutter!

Professor Perlmutter is very engaging and his posted lecture videos were very useful and clear! He was also always on top of sending out announcements to keep us students updated and posting material on the Bruinlearn course page. The first half of the class was more focused on learning python and similar concepts to pic 10a/b (data structures, classes, inheritance, etc.), as well as new things like numpy and working with data The second half of the class was focused on the group project and learning the material necessary for it. Participation in discussions was mandatory, but was helpful for reviewing course material + asking questions about homework! Overall, would definitely recommend this course!

Optional lecture attendance with recorded lectures. Study guides given before exams.
