Theres a textbook, but you don't need it. Franklin is the first professor I've had that really tries to engage her students to participate. She teaches whatever you need to know from the textbook and tells you to do practice problems in class so the material is more understandable. Just make sure to attend every lecture and you will be fine.
She is a good professor, and you will do well in the class if you did well in CS16. If you took APCS, it will be a breeze.
An overall good class. She cares to help all levels as, so if you're struggling in the class, go see her in office hours and talk to her. She's willing to help as long as you ask. This class is super easy if you have a lot of experience but is a bit challenging if you're just the average student.
Professor Franklin is awesome. Had her for both 24 and 64 and learned a lot. Projects were somewhat hard, but don't be afraid to go to her office hours and ask for help. Make sure you go to all lectures and pay attention, and you will do well.
Great class! Not too difficult, but she doesn't post any notes online, so going to lecture & paying attention is really important in order to stay caught up. Explanations are clear, lectures aren't too dry. She does lots of practice problems in class -- super helpful. Weekly assignments. Exams are very straightforward.
Awesome teacher! She wrote everything out on the chalkboard making it very easy to follow along. She did an excellent job at explaining everything. Although some of the labs (especially the final project) were a little tricky, she definitely prepared us well. I would love to have her as a teacher again.
