A basic practice approach for solving problems with a 7step formula for any kind of problem set, for any kind of programming language you use. A very basic approach to JAVA syntax and semantics.

The course was well structured but I feel the content could have incorporated more concepts. I feel like there's so much basic JAVA that's not covered. But otherwise the teachers did a great job.
