Overall this class is very easy and Professor Millstein does a great job explaining concepts. His lectures are almost 2 hours long but you can tell he doesn't need the full two hours to get through the course material. This class is very light and your grade is mostly made up of the homeworks which are all straightforward. For someone that had no experience with coding coming into UCLA i would definitely recommend Professor Millstein.

Todd is a great lecturer and really got me interested in comp sci. There were homework assignments, two midterms, and a final. The homework assignments were very fair, I almost always finished them within one hour of starting them. The midterms were also very fair, although the second one was a bit more difficult than the first one. The final exam, I thought was very easy. Todd was great at explaining concepts and he also really took the time to answer any questions anyone had. I didn't really find the discussion section as well as the textbook useful. Just make sure you understand the homework's and the lectures and you should do well. The class overall is pretty easy, as I think it's just meant to get people interested in comp sci.

CS 30 with Professor Millstein is a valuable course to take if you're new to or have very little experience with CS. Lectures are clear and interesting, homework typically takes a few hours but is generally easy to understand, and exams are easy. Professor Millstein and his TAs are also very helpful and it's clear that they really care about their students.

Personally, I already had a bit of experience with CS because I took a course in high school. However, I still felt like I learned a lot of new, challenging, and valuable information with Professor Millstein. Overall, I highly recommend taking this course.

Todd Millstein is a legend of a kind . His kindness and simplicity is just amazing . The ease with which he introduces the "hard to grasp" concepts of CS is just impeccable . Each of his class was so engaging and for a person like me who had no CS experience it was indeed a treat . I honestly feel that this class helped me make my foundations strong which paid off heavily in CS 31 and CS 32

Todd is amazing! I took this class because I had no cs experience prior and I was scared to take cs31. He made me love cs so much; he is really clear and codes along class which is really nice. Class size was small and we were all really close, joking around in class which was great. His tests are super easy, really light; if you know what you're doing then they should be an easy 100. Projects are easy too; if you need help reach out and he is more than welcome to help. I think this class really lets you know if you should wanna go into cs or not. Overall, Todd was a great professor and if you have no coding experience I 100% recommend taking this class before cs31 for a better platform!
