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.

Maybe, you should let us manipulate more the file, because the dukes library is doing much. But, in general this cours was interesting !!!

I liked the content and the presentation. One input, though: I really would like to learn about unit tests early in the program.

Nice course, even though the 1st week assignments are not that good, but the rest of the course I enjoyed every single minute.

Great course and delivery!
If only there would be more help in the forums by assistants or tutors it would have gotten a 5 star

Great course! Sometimes the guidance was a bit confusing but after enough looking over my notes I was able to do it properly.

Good course and quite unique approach... could have been more interesting and fun! Video presentation is too geeky at times.

Material too repetitive for my tastes, but some may find that reinforces learning. The baby names project was kind of fun.

PLEASE teach us how to use a better IDE. BlueJ sucks, compared to, for example, something like Spyder for Python. PLEASE.

I liked the fact that the final tests need your code.... so if you do not understand what you have done you will fail :-)

Everything is perfect except for the discussion forum. It would be greatly improved if TAs can provide more supervision.

Good content but I wish the topics moved a little quicker. Seems like there is more hand holding than necessary.

Good course for new programmer. Enough exercise for basic programming though isn't what I am looking for.

The first week was a bit rough, learning curve was way too steep. It gets better on the second week.
