As other people are saying, if you have no prior experience you are set up for failure, the professor explains the theory clearly but doesn't take any time to explain how to really code it... leaving you to fend for yourself.

Disgusting jump in difficulty from ECOR 1041. It attempts to cover too many things and not go in any depth. This is awful and prevents you from learning anything.

Eh, I've seen worst... she explains okay, and keeps the class in check which honestly is great for a first-year class... however, she talks fast and doesn't stay in the bounds of her own slides but I wouldn't avoid her by any mean...

Honestly don't even do engineering... my mental health has never been so low... But if you insist on learning python over the summer beforehand so you at least have a solid starting point and arent loss right off the get-go.

ermmmm super gay. Cristina is like a cutie but she like confusing as shit. I miss 1041. Coding is like hard... If ur taking it rn, make sure to stay on top of the lectures w the readings from textbook. cuz u wont understand anything in class.

NOOOO

baddd

die

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.

Terrible, all the evalutions were never marked, my final exam is on friday and I only know 5% of my grade.

Terrible, all the labs were impossibly hard and everyone was equally lost. Furthermore, no marks or feedback to improve on for entire semester.

Felt like going to lectures was useless as they were so monotone and unengaging.

The ta's and the prof need to step up their game and figure out what they are doing. Basically teaching myself the course for no point as there is no marks given back.
