Comments on the course

This course was NOT meant for first year students. I guess the only kind of useful thing was how to use excel but that's it. The course content is very very boring and offers very little use towards my degree.

Course Content

Every week there is a very time consuming assignment with unclear instructions, if you put you put in the effort its easy to get 100% on them, however, the midterms and exam were brutal, multiple choice with options a-f. Expect to memorize a lot.

Comments on the professor

No one could understand him. Super thick accent. As a person he is kind and willing to help you though.

Advice

Despite getting 100% on nearly every assignment I didn't get the final mark I wanted because of the heavily weighted exam and two midterms. If you want to do well focus on the lecture material and memorize!

Comments on the course

This is supposedly a first year course and I took it as a second year and still had a very hard time. Computer science is not my strong suit, but even after studying, attending every lecture, and making notes I still got just a passing grade. Oh and the assignments are unclear and incoherent. You might be better off not attending class and learning it on your own, I wish I had did that. most of the time class was empty and the prof was just teaching like 8-12 students.

Course Content

Way too much information, you don't even know what to study, plus as a introductory course you should help student learn and understand concepts, that definitely did not happen. One good thing is that the tests were multiple choice of 25 questions.

Comments on the professor

The professor was nice and taught well, but he gave too much information, and made the material confusing on what to study.

Advice

Take it if you actually enjoy and want to learn or already know about computer science. You might be better off not attending class and learning it on your own, I wish I had did that.

Ridiculously hard for a beginner computer course.

Course Content

Word docs use and excel use. Not useful for my degree.

Comments on the professor

Very difficult to understand his words. Has a heavy accent.

Advice

If you don’t have to take this, don’t.
