<p>I don't know, but I think that the projects are pretty hard. From what I can predict, it's hard to get 100s on the projects unless you have had experience in programming ..</p>

<p>But my question is for first time programmers in CS31 ..</p>

<p>Does Smallberg fail easily? I Bruinwalked Smallberg, and some reponses said that they got about 50/100 on midterms and finals, and still ended up with a C. But they never said anything about scores on projects.</p>

<p>Would this hold true .. for people struggling with C++ .. who get about 50/100 on tests and get about 60% (but finish most projects) .. that they would get at least a C?</p>

<p>I mean they tried .. is that how his grading scale works ?</p>

<p>CS 31 is nothing. You need >85% on every assignment and >70% on the midterm/final if you aspire for a B. No, Prof. Smallberg doesn't fail easily; he's firm but fair. However, like with every CS 31/32/33 professor, the effort-gap between a B versus a C is as vast as the effort-gap between passing and failing in any other class. To every student who provides the basic implementation of the program specifications, and isn't a perfectionist, prepare to be weeded out. :rolleyes:</p>
