Pretty easy class, Tests have a few tricky questions and Stahl makes a lot of grading mishaps, but he is quite accommodating and flexible. Would recommend taking CS 32 with Stahl, especially if you are not very confident in your coding skills

Slow, clear lecturer. Skipped lots of hard topics. Simpler coding problems on exams but enforces syntax memorization and has you memorizing very course-specific implementations, and I don't like that. Raw score only, no curve. Easy projects with skeletons provided. Homework is canvas quizzes, often with tons of mistakes. Exams have a lot of mistakes too. He also taught quadratic probing in a way that goes against the conventions agreed upon by 95% of the internet. He's very kind and responsive when correcting mistakes, however. I wish he included more choice-based, more group-based, and more challenging projects.
