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.

Definitely easier than CS32 with Smallberg/Nachenberg. The projects (35% of our grade) are almost too easy (although the last 2 are a bit tough) and the homework (15%) is straightforward too. The exams are pretty fair (12.5% for Midterm I, 12.5% for Midterm II, and 25% for the final) and he is lenient with regrade requests. He also gives you 2 bonus points on either midterm 1 or 2 depending on if you actually go to section. His lectures can be pretty boring at times but he records them so watching them at 2X speed is recommended in addition to going to his office hours which are helpful. The TAs can be pretty dogshit, not going to lie. Mine barely spoke English and would buffer in real-time. However, Stahl's class is not super difficult and is 100% doable. You can definitely get an A in his CS32 class, which is supposedly a weeder too. I would take it again.
