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.
