CMPSC 101
Introduction to C++ Programming
3***
Semi-difficult course / instructor. All of his course material and information is online so you come to class to just work on the homework. In theory, it seems easy, but as the instructions get harder to follow, everything becomes chaotic. He is very reluctant to offer help stating, "Well, you should have looked through my videos" even if you had already done so. He often forgets it's a beginner class and bothers you with tediousness over the simplest of assignments. He's a fair grader and the course work isn't particularly hard. Decent experience. If you can avoid the class, do so, but otherwise, it's alright.

CMPSC 101
Introduction to C++ Programming
1*
Pros: the book was very organized and helped understand the material
Cons: There is so much work that it feels more like you're trying to complete assignments versus learning. One assignment due, 2 quizzes, and 10 mini problems all due in one week. He fell behind the syllabus several times, and kept rescheduling which made it very difficult to know when things were due
