2.   pattern

4.   The final project was brutal, but a great experience. I honestly felt like I learned alot. Even if most of it was learning what I still need to learn.

What do you suggest to improve this course?


1.   no
2.   more pattern application in real large cases.
4.   The video assignment could be brushed up a little. To the teachers admission the code is written somewhat poorly. His reasoning was that we should see bad design. Trust me when I say I see plenty of bad desgins; it's kinda what I do. What I want to see is ideal designs that I can learn from. Let me handle writing the bad stuff.
5.   none
