Let's do it again!"This course was frustratingly challenging and moved very fast, but I learned a lot.This course is challenging, but run by an incredible professor who genuinely cares about his students,so don't be afraid to dive into the world of Computer Science starting with this course- because if youdecide not to start here, you'll be missing out.A large load in one class.This course was very interesting.A challenging(sometimes frustrating) but very very rewarding class where I can easily look back to thebeginning of the semester and see how much I have learned.The course is equal parts mind-opening, interesting, fun and challenging.The course was interesting but too much work for a first time computer science student.Intellectually satisfying.Good computer science introduction course that takes a lot of time and dedication for beginners.The difficulty level and the amount of material covered is appropriate for an introductory CS class.This course was extremely difficult, but enough help was provided, and I'm glad I took it.AWESOME but needs attentionA enlightening and challenging introduction to computer sciencePage 1 of 12The information in this document is private and confidential.

What suggestions do you have forimproving the course book?~Question Type: Short Answer~contributed by Evans, David (dee2b)Results for CS-1120-001, Evans, DavidTotal Individual Answers28 See below for Individual ResultsThere are a couple of chapters towards the end of the book (ch. 9-12) that could use a few moreworked out examples.The Information book was really interesting, a little lengthy, but I enjoyed it. The CS book was a goodreference but sometimes the wording was a little confusing and it'd take a couple of read-throughs tofully understand concepts.There are some typos in the book - misspellings, using the wrong form of "effect," and places wherethere are extraneous words (where it looks like the author was going to write one thing and thenchanged his mind but then forgot to erase all the words in the first train of thought). The content isgood, and the exercises are helpful, but some technical errors could be resolved.The course book itself was fine. But maybe having all the solutions on a website or in the back of thebook would be nice.Have more math programs.The course book is fine as it is.Nothing.Make it a little more readable for people without a CS background.Introduction to the Java programming language might be included.Maybe going more in depth with the explanation on how to do certain code. The BNF grammar usedto express it could be confusing sometimes.Include example problems with answers and explanations!!!Have some solutions to the practice problems in the book.There really is not a more straight-forward way to present such complex material.It needs to cut down on the computer science jargon, or take more time to explain what the jargonmeans. It should also provide more examples of concepts.More concise, more pictures.Make solutions available for all exercises-Index, glossary, have solutions posted for all chapters.The course book could be improved by including more examples for each topic. There also should bemore diagrams to create a visual for visual learners.Edit the typos, mostly. And give lots of examples for challenging concepts. State the "obvious."Please provide solutions to practice problems! Something I really struggled with was doing problemson my own, and it was really nice to be able to do these practice problems on my own.There were a few typos, but that's all that I can think of.some easier examples with given solutions before the challenging onesPage 2 of 12The
