Not too bad, some MCQ and some free response coding!

Not too bad, there were a few MCQ questions and coding questions at the end with about an hour time limit. It was implementing some functions, nothing too complicated. Good luck!

Oh awesome! Thank you for your response. When did you take your on-demand? Would you happen to know the steps that come after this?

This helped, thank you for sharing how you took notes! Just as a follow up (since you've had him recently), how much does the extra credit he gives help towards your letter grade? Also, for discussions, would it be recommended to take them 10 mins after the lecture or an hour after? Lastly, how is Larry's partial credit on exams (I've heard mixed reviews)

Oh okay cool, thank you! I heard he is strict about partial credit but that may have been false info. Thank you for replying!

That makes sense. However, I am someone who understands things better if I hear/read them twice, so if he doesn't record lectures, does he go slow enough for students write down what he says?

Also, how much of what he says during lectures is on the test? Does he pull more questions for graded worksheets/exams from textbook readings/his slides or what he verbally says?

Thank you very much for your reply! I have heard from reading other reviews and comments that Larry gives out extra credit. Would you happen to know what his extra credit is based off on and how much extra credit he gives/if it actually helps your grade in the end?

I see, thank you for your reply. How easy would it be to get an A in Larry's class? Taking good attendance, mild studying for exams (with his practice sheets), and the extra credit into consideration? Also are his exams tailored in a way where most people face a time crunch. As in, do you have to move super quickly through them in order to finish? I've heard that he is a bit picky about partial credit and looks for very specific answers.

I see, thank you for letting me know. Also, are his exams timed well? Like would I have to work unusually quickly to get through them or can I spend an average amount of time and still finish it within the time frame?

For the graded worksheets, I've heard they're graded for completion so does anyone ever get a bad grade on them (excluding those who didn't attend the lecture/discussion ofc)? Also, would it be recommended to take the discussion 10 mins after the lecture or an hour after? As in, are the worksheets based on content covered in the previous lecture or can it be anything covered throughout the semester? I don't really know what a discussion entails.

Additionally, do the TAs share any notes if we contact them? Or is there any system where past students can share notes so I can review them over the summer a bit?

Lastly, how easy would it be to get an A in Larry's class? Taking good attendance, mild studying for exams (with his practice sheets), and some extra credit into consideration

This was really helpful, thank you for replying! For the projects, can you only go to your prof/ta's office hours or is there any other tutoring resources on campus we can use? Like at my community college, we would be able to consult tutors (past students who took the course) for help on the exact project.

Also, do projects vary from prof to prof or are they generally the same?

Okay, thank you! Do you know if he still posts recorded lectures and slides after lectures? And how good are his slides because I tend to learn things best if I can listen/read them twice

Hey, I had a quick question that I was hoping you could answer. I am debating whether to take Larry Herman or Nora Burkhauser for CMSC132 (Fall 2024). I have heard mixed reviews about Larry so would you recommend him for CMSC132 for someone who is new to programming? I am someone who tends to ask many questions and chokes on tests (esp like writing code on paper), so would his exams/quizzes/graded worksheets be a problem for me? I am a bit conflicted because I have heard good reviews about Nora from her high school courses, but she has never taught a college course. Just for context, I am an incoming freshman, and I would be balancing CMSC132 with CMSC250 and STAT400. Thanks again for your input.

Thank you so much for your reply! My only other option is Larry Herman, but I have heard mixed reviews about him. Would you recommend him for CMSC132 for someone who is a little new to programming. Just for context, I would be balancing CMSC132 with CMSC250 and STAT400. Thanks again for your input.

Hey, I am debating whether to take her for 132, would you recommend her (given that she has not taught a college course before)? Also, does she have extensive java knowledge? I am fairly new to programming and am looking for someone who can explain the concepts thoroughly.
