Final Project Reflections

While working on the final project, I really came to appreciate how well the class progressed. What I mean is, just about everything I wanted to do, I had already done, and just had to bring it together. The instruction and assignments progressed beautifully. I appreciate the clarity of the final project. Then again, it's probably just the math part of my brain talking.

Random Thoughts

This course has really caused me to think about teaching a programming course. I have really enjoyed challenge. One thing that I am looking forward to discussing is whether all of this html stuff has been worthwhile. What I mean is this. Is learning this really useful, or is it like learning how to figure square roots to the hundredths place without a calculator? In other words, what can I do with this new knowledge. I hope that our discussion yields some good ideas. I have my doubts though. In any event, maybe learning the language is enough to spark interest in the whole process like it has been with me.

That's good enough for me.

Enjoying the Class

Maybe it's because we have clear goals, and we know when we are finished with them, or maybe it's just because there is a good "end of the year" vibe, but I am really enjoying the class. Maybe it's just because this stuff appeals to the math part of my brain. Anyway, this is good stuff.
