Fall 2018 - Claudia is very clear about her expectations for the class and what she expects from students; her advice during lecture is great in that she is very upfront about common mistakes people make while coding, as well as how the inner workings of the compiler are when reading the code. Would take again for Pic 10B.

Spring 2018 - The homework is strictly graded on criteria based to knock points off. Same with the midterm and final; just small things to knock your grade down. She doesn't care about learning, but rather her point rubric and her little "good coding practice" rules. The teacher is cold, unengaged and uninteresting. Take this class with any other teacher. I got an A- in pic 10A, and I put in a good amount of work for this class.

Spring 2019 - If you did decently in PIC 10B, you will have sufficient knowledge/skill to pass this class. Falcon's lectures were based on the textbook (Chapters 15 - 20 of Big C++) and were very easy to follow. There were 5 simple homework assignments to make sure you understood the lectures. This class requires a group project using Qt. The project is around 30% of your grade and you will be working on it throughout the quarter. The complexity of your project depends entirely up to you and your group. There are two tests, no final, which will be easy even if you have a basic understanding of the lectures. I highly recommend taking this class with Falcon whenever offered.
