Heavy course load so professors can be lazy. The concepts themselves aren’t too hard, but it’s still overwhelming if you’re brand new.

It’s basically all on zybooks because the professors don’t do lectures. It’s fine if you already know how to program but otherwise you’re screwed.

The most god awful professors I’ve ever come across. They basically just blow off doing anything under the guise of a flipped class. If you don’t want to teach don’t be a professor.also extremely incompetent and quite literally don’t understand the questions being asked to them. It’s not even they don’t know the answer, they quite literally don’t know what the person is asking. I hope they all get fired.

It only works out well if you know how to program prior.

For a first programming class, its not too beginner friendly imo. Some of the projects can difficult especially the last two where we made a Pokeman rip off and Sudoku from scratch, but if you pay attention and actually try then it shouldnt be too bad. I cant say too much about the lectures because i havnt been to class in 3 months because i self taught myself Python in the summer which was good enough to pass the class. Every time i didnt understand something or needed help, I would look back at the zoom recordings Zhou would post online. Its an alright course for someone that never coded before, but it felt slow to me and boring.

idk, i didnt go to class lol. She was good ig

FOR PROJECT 4, MAKE SURE TO GRAB A GOOD TEAM. This project will make you stress, not sleep, regret everything, and make you hate your major and life. Nah im jk, but its pretty hard and stressful so make sure to grab a good team to do it with so you wont being doing the whole thing by yourself. I also recommend going to Zhou's hour offices 1 hour early because it gets PACK fast. One time i waited 2 hours to get help and when it was my turn, Zhou left because office hours was over. She leaves right on time and doesnt stay for extra minutes so make sure to get there early so youll be the first one in line. The TA office hours are alright but everyone needs help so youll be waiting for a long time. In-Person is better than the Zoom office hours but do whatever you want.
