Course Expectations This class will be time consuming. This class is challenging. Often you’ll be thrown in the “deep end.” I’m getting paid to teach you GUI, not to make sure you have a social life. CSE
Previous Students’ Comments “The professor moves very quickly and covers what seems like multiple semesters of coursework in one.” “Sometimes doesn't realize that students have other classes.” “He over-estimates how much work is reasonable.” CSE
Previous Students’ Suggestions “SLOW DOWN.” “It would be amazing if this class could be split into 2 classes (Web and mobile development) so that more time could be spent on both topics.” CSE
