14. Use this space for any comments you may have about the course, the instructor, readings, etc.

The class activities involving the testing of programs werevery helpful.
cool professor.
Professor Christian is one of the top Professors that I have ever had. I feel I am more prepared to enter the work environment after taking his class.
If you look for course to do nothing and get A, this one is for you. 2 take home exams, 3 easy assignments and an easy project. Plenty of extensions. If you only care about the 3 credits, this one is for you.
