I feel like this class is very useful and Professor Burnett is extremely helpful and cares a lot about her students. And so does Kye if he's your TA. I was doing pretty well in the class and had an A until I took the final in which I actually got an F on which was pretty unfortunate and dropped my grade to a B. The final is a practical timed exam that combines all the course concepts. There's no group work allowed in the class which is different from other PIC classes.

Professor Burnett is absolutely amazing! She is the best PIC professor I've ever had. She explains the course concepts super clearly and is willing to support her students in learning both in-class and outside of class. I'm so glad that I took this class with Professor Burnett because she made it so interesting to learn about web programming. I'm always excited to go to class and listen to her live lectures. I love how the assignments connect throughout the quarter, and we'll be able to assemble them into a full project by the end of the quarter. The exam was very fair; it was not too hard but still thoroughly tested our understanding of the materials we've learned in class. Overall, I really love the class and appreciate the hard work that Professor Burnett has put into teaching this class.

Great professor and extremely fast communication!

Only take this class with her if you have previous coding experiences. Pic 10A is supposed to be an introductory course into c++ coding. However, prof Burnett's way of teaching kind of made it hard for beginners. I've coded in java before I learned c++ with her so I knew about the basic concepts in coding and that definitely made this class a lot easier. This class mainly consisted of weekly hw and one midterm and one final. You have to name the hw the exact way she tells you to otherwise you get a 0 cuz I think they check your hw by directly inputting your file into their test case window with a set template. Midterm and final were fair. I had Nori as my TA and he was so blessed! Def be in his section if you are planning on taking this class. It helps a lot!

I did not like this class. Lectures were hard to follow along with and there was little explanation given for many concepts. My friend who I took this course with and I had no programming experience in HS, so we found it quite challenging to keep up considering Burnett didn't really *explain* any of the fundamentals. She would just kind of run through code and it was up to us to figure it out.
The homework wasn't too bad in terms of task difficulty, but something that was agitating is that she would give a 0 if the file was misnamed (ie HW_1 instead of HW-1) or had a single build error in the code. I think she would also give a 0 for runtime errors, but I can't remember for sure. Also, my TA was not very helpful but I started going to the other section ~halfway through the quarter and it was a little better.
