Not beginner friendly and the course exercises are too repetitive. However, videos are easy to follow if you are proficient in some other language.

There exist some sort of help for solving programming.However, those bad quiz as well as not so comprehensive courses design totally ruin it.

Still I would it can be framed better for students. Some contents are just made to waste time and the content should be improved.

I feel like we're left behind by the teachers of this course. The teaching style does not help in getting the right code to work.

The course material is good and helpful. But high usage of duke's own library can be discouraging and frustrating at times.

As an arch linux user, the use of BlueJ was impossible. Using the provided edu.duke jar file also had many errors.

Tests were a bit ambigious (truncate don't round). Videos feel a bit rigid, but the content is there.
