Software Construction: Object-Oriented Design

This course has the honor of being the worst Computer Science and programming course I've taken to date. It is a shame because the subject material is very interesting and important. I was able to breeze through the lecture and study materials. And therein lies the problem,-there weren't enough of them. I feel like this ended up being a quick summary of the things that were important to software development. It glossed over the important concepts without connecting the themes together in a progressive manner yet required a high level of understanding in some of the quizzes and in the final project.

Quizzes ended up being more guess work than proof of understanding with their use of ambiguous language and a command of the concepts that was not taught. This all came to a head in the final project which required a great understanding of not only the poorly taught concepts but of the Java programming language as well, including graphics- a concept that wasn't even mentioned. Very disappointed as I really enjoyed the How to Code series which is part of the same micro masters program that this 2 course series belongs to.
