awfully taught and put together course overall this class feels like its designed to fail anyone who does not have experience in coding

no useful content in the lectures or the labs be ready to teach yourself everything as the lectures are useless

awful

know how to code before you come in and make sure you know everything about python and how to use it otherwise its going to be extremely hard to pass

The course makes no sense, its not taught effectively and feels like sabotage. As someone who had no coding experience prior to ecor 1041/1042, this entire course is unfair. We are taught the basics (which also weren't taught very well) then expected to know more advanced coding without ever being taught how to implement it. There's a difference between understanding what the code the prof built and explains does than actually building your own. I understand what different functions and what not do but the course never effectively taught me how to write code myself. I also haven't been given any form of feedback as my final exam is tomorrow and I only have 5% of my grade back (online quizzes that brightspace grades immediately providing no feedback just a grade). This entire course is sett...read more

I went into this class wanting to learn how to code and feeling interested. As an engineering student, coding is something we should all have some knowledge on as it can be very useful, however this class has completely ruined my interest in programming and I never want to do it again so good job Carleton.

Just all around bad. Lectures have the basics nothing more, the prof was hard to understand and could not effectively explain anything. Its also very hard to stay concentrated and motivated when you are frusterated and confused because once again this class makes no sense and sets you up for failure.

I wish I would have mastered python before starting university because with the way this course is taught, that was the only way I would pass.
