Message: <blockquote data-quote="JamalTheTrader" data-source="post: 239954" data-attributes="member: 38218">I just finished the course. My TA Apalley was very responsive at both grading and questions. The forum was very useful.I think the biggest strength of this course is learning design theory. Some other classes and books I have seen just tell how to type code and what it does. That's analogous to teaching calculus without teaching a proper definition of a limit. In both situations, students are given a functional but incomplete view of the subject. However, this course challenges student to study how the machine operates, and why certain things are implemented the way they are. Throughout the course, I became more aware of how the machine operates, allowing me to write more efficient code and also how to pay attention to the bigger picture, designing a more flexible and better organized program structure rather than just stack codes of functionality on top of each other (making it hard to read or add on to).</blockquote>
