Prof. Murray said this was his last class at UCLA, which is unfortunate because I thought he was very good. I wish this school kept around more professors who genuinely care about teaching undergrads like Murray did.
PIC 10B is definitely a step up from 10A. Most of the class focuses on memory management, which can get pretty difficult. Algorithms and Data Structures can be pretty complex as well. Overall, these were important and useful things to learn, and the workload is considerably less than that of CS 32.

Good class! I didn't love 10A but I really enjoyed 10B. Professor could be a little opaque at times but you can just ask (in lecture or OH or his AMAZING campuswire set up) and he'd clarify. Lectures were pretty interesting and exams are not difficult at all because he doesn't require you to remember every little syntactical thing just what the structure should be since if you're coding in real-life, there's a good chance you'll have access to the internet to Google it!!
Overall, sharp professor so I recommend to take this course.

10B is notoriously more difficult than 10A, but I found that the class isn't too hard if you put in the effort. We touched on data structures at the end, which is probably the most difficult part of the course, but aren't expected to know too much about them in the context of this class.

Professor Murray's style of coding live in-lecture was really helpful for learning, and the exams and homework sets were all rather fair and in-line with everything covered in lecture. Office hours are also really worthwhile. He's really friendly and addresses any questions you might have -- I also sometimes just worked on the homework so I could immediately ask if any issues came up. Overall, I really enjoyed both his 10A and 10B courses and feel like I learned a lot!

Tests are very fair and Prof. Murray did an excellent job of making course content available outside of class hours which is great for taking one's own time to review. He really wants his students to succeed which is really nice! Wish office hour times were voted on by class, but other than that I'm grateful to have him as a professor -- he really has taught me a lot!

Prof Murray teaches this class at what I feel is at a very advanced level (or maybe I just found the class on the harder side of all the PIC classes I've taken), but he definitely did go into more detail and depth than what was necessary. He holds lots of office hours and is very kind and understanding in them and will try his best to help you which you can feel. He gives you a good amount of time to complete the assignments, but I found the assignments on the hard side and it would take me a long time to figure them out (and my friends who had taken CS32 had a lot of difficulty in helping as well). You are allowed 1 handwritten double sided sheet of paper for the midterm and final. Completing this class feels rewarding, but definitely stay on top of the lecture materials since Prof Murray covers a good amount of content. Take this class seriously if you will take it!
