I would just like to say that I really dont care for cs342. and I dont think Im alone. in fact, one would be hard pressed to find someone who has taken it that actually did like the course. you dont believe me? here is the opinion of a past student:
"They really need to teach C++, and all they did was make me not like C++. Learning C++ and learning design patterns at the same time is not a good idea. The patterns are actually pretty cool, but you never get to really learn them because you spend so much time learning C++."
and I agree completely. 342 needs to be split into two classes. one that teaches c++, and one that teaches design patterns. everyone who has ever taken the class thinks this is absolutely necessary, and theyve thought it for at least a couple years now. in fact, students have expressed it at every opportunity, and the administration has not done anything to fix it.
sigh... at least Im getting an all right grade in it.
