Class was mostly review of CSC 115 and MATH 222. This class would probably be much harder for those who haven't taken these or similar courses.

The first half of this course is discrete math, and the second half is mostly programming in Java. All of the discrete math material is covered in MATH 122 and 222, and most of the programming material is covered in first-year courses like CSC 115. Biggest challenges for me were analyzing runtime and writing pseudocode.

Hosna constantly made it clear that she wanted us all to succeed. However, she relied too heavily on teaching via pre-lecture videos and often came to class with little prepared for the lecture. Too much class-time was set aside for asking and answering questions, and class was dismissed early several times throughout the semester due to her running out of material prepared for the lesson. I felt like I learned more from the labs than I did from the lectures.
