Comments on the course

The labs are pretty simple, but the projects take time, and you'll have to start early if you don't have any prior programming experience.

Course Content

Lot of useful info about Java, it's a good class.

Comments on the professor

Nice guy, but you will need YouTube to supplement his lectures.

Advice

Learn as much as you can about Java before taking the course, even if it's just basic programming knowledge. It will save you life the first few weeks when everything seems foreign.

Comments on the course

Not too bad with prior programming experience, but without experience, it's a big challenge. The online textbook helps a lot. Most important thing is to make time for the labs and projects as they will take a while.

Course Content

Intro to Java. Weekly quizzes and labs. Two exams. Major project assignments.

Comments on the professor

Not too bad of a professor, she helps out whenever its needed and she's pretty responsive. Watching her practice questions were definitely useful as well as they would correlate with the quizzes.

Advice

Try to gain some experience or get familiar with Java. Take a lot of time to practice, study, and retain the information you learn.

Comments on the course

Easy and really boring if you have prior programming experience, hard if you don't have any. You mostly have to teach yourself the material and read the textbook.

Course Content

Intro to Programming with Java

Comments on the professor

Her teaching style is a flipped classroom, where you watch lectures at home and do exercises in class. Having to do that makes this class feel very tedious since she doesn't really teach content during class and only answers questions. That said, you could probably just skip class entirely and get by just reading the textbook.
