Material too repetitive for my tastes, but some may find that reinforces learning. The baby names project was kind of fun.

PLEASE teach us how to use a better IDE. BlueJ sucks, compared to, for example, something like Spyder for Python. PLEASE.

I liked the fact that the final tests need your code.... so if you do not understand what you have done you will fail :-)

Everything is perfect except for the discussion forum. It would be greatly improved if TAs can provide more supervision.
