Reviews of professor Brian Parra

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Turn in code every week as attendance grade (he holds your hand during lecture), group project is final grade, homework is auto-graded by github, he never replies on time on Slack, best prof for 413 though. Start the extra credit early, it raises your grade by 10%

It was a hard course. Even though he gave us like a month to finish 1 hw assignment, it was still really difficult to keep up with the class. I def learned a lot from his class, but if you team up with crappy teammates for final project, you're basically on your own for a full-stack project. He gave out a lot of hints though.

He makes the class engaging, but you need to learn outside the classroom to be ready for his lectures and homework! He is a strict grader on tests but not on the final project! Code some stuff and he will give you at least a 80%! He isnt very accessible out of class but will help as he can!

Good professor, he is chill and easy going. He is very patience and explain every part. His homework might be a little difficult, but once you get it, it is easy. His final project is not bad at all, you should have a easy course with him.

He is the best teacher, he teaches you the real-world stuff so you can find a job. He is very caring. Always available!! take him and thank me later.

I has no way to express how much I should thank Brian. He works in the industry so what he teaches is updated with the industry. Don't expect easy A because this is a class where topics are covered very fast like startup vibe. Learn some technologies before taking this class like React JS so you will find less challenging.

He takes attendance by having you turn in classwork for every lecture. He is lecture heavy but very thorough. He will spend extra time on harder topics or if you ask questions. There's two solo projects and one group project, plus a final. He's very clear about his grading criteria, and he gave my entire class extra credit.

Awesome professor with clear lectures. There's classwork to submit every lecture, 3 hws, final, and a final group project with grading that isn't too harsh. He has tests to autograde hw/final so you still have to work for the points. Highly recommend this class, learned a ton and the content is super useful for fullstack web dev/industry.

Most of the lecture is live-coding, which can be either slow or fast to keep up with. There are lecture slides, but they only contain a small fraction of what is taught during class. I recommend applying what you've learned during class as fast as you can to the homework, then learning on your own to finish up other aspects of assignments.

Turn in code lab every week as attendance grade, a group project is final grade and final exam are last part of it all. Homework is auto-graded by Github, he always replies on discord, best professor for 413 and 667.
