Progress

I'm not sure if a lot of other students were in agreement with a lot of my comments from last semester but so far I'm seeing a vast improvement in the structure of this course which I'm really happy about. Specifically, I'm happy that we have one assignment to focus on each week. I think that this really helps us spend more time learning the material as opposed to rushing through to complete both assignments on time.

I'm not sure how I feel about having a final exam for this class. It's nice not having to work on a group project for this class because it's always difficult to work on group projects throughout a course. One thing I think would make more sense for the final is to allow us to use the internet since we would be able to use it if we were really programming. I don't think I've ever had to take a practical programming exam without being able to use the internet as a reference. Obviously this would not include email/chat programs and we'd still have to work on it on our own...
