Comments on the course

I think that this course does everything wrong in the way that they are teaching it. They expect students to spend 1+ hour spending time understanding the material and it takes longer for people who are beginners. They make you take the quizzes only on two days of the week which happens to be the busiest days of my week. In class it has nothing to do with the actual material that we are learning and more about focusing on activities. This course might be one of the worst ways to learn java and computer science

Course Content

The course content is genuinely useful but the workload is not helpful. Students have other classes.

Comments on the professor

Not accommodating at all! I asked if I could move my quiz to wednesday due to being busy with other classes and being new members for two different orgs and he said that there are 12 hours that the CBTF is open for and I should be able to find time to go and do it. He also is never in class at all. The TAs run the course and when the TAs are asked questions to do their jobs, they get all angry like this is your job.

Advice

Take this when you don't have a super busy schedule! Honestly stay on the top of the assignments and I dont even know.
