    Quarter Taken: Fall 2023 In-Person
    Grade: P

    This is Stahl's first time teaching CS32 and I am hearing that the projects are relatively easier than Smallerg's class. Grade is made up of 5 quizzes (multiple choice), 5 projects, 2 midterms, and a final. Attendance during discussion section is counted as extra credit. However, since the lectures are kinda slow and class is recorded, most people do not go to lectures.

    Stahl gives much easier programming projects compared to Smallberg and Nachenberg (no Peach Party 50 page spec bs) but his tests are harder

    Grade: A

    Stahl is honestly a great lecturer even though he speaks quite slowly. His projects are always very fair, and he's very responsive to questions and potential issues that students might have with it. His midterms are also very straightforward, and simply watching the lectures should get you an A on all of his tests.
