15.   Ten years from now I'll probably remember this course most by ...
sleepless nights.
... the amount of hate I have for Java for any web based application development. Also, getting to know people through teamwork and even making some friends.
Its assignments!!!
The knowledge I learned of new technologies.
coding the same type of programs that I did from the projects in this class.
Working 3 a.m. with my classmates in the library trying to figure out the assignment.
the amount and quality of work I've done.
Ant, Java tools, eclipse, testings, .. of course profess teaching styles
Groupwork and Myisern.

26.   My overall evaluation of this instructor is....
Good instructor. I learned a lot this semester.
Does a great job of teaching the ideas presented in the course.
excellent!!!
Wonderful. One of the best ICS professors.
System.out.println("Overall a very good instructor.");
He is very tough, but you learn a great deal of stuff that is practically useful.
a good teacher but the course seems a bit rocky.
The instructor is very good professor. I will definitely recommend other students to take this professor's class. The professor is organized, and he keeps his schedule. This makes students become more active on this course.
Very good. Enthuastic at teaching and teaches well.

30.   My overall evaluation of this course is...
Group work was not always successful.
Great and fun until Java is used for web application development. After that it becomes hell and hard to learn the concepts we're supposed to get out of the assignment. I recommend the use of a different language even if we have to learn from scratch. R
BEST COURSE!!!
Awesome. Quite difficult and time consuming, but interesting.
You actually learn things that you'll use in the future.
Tough course in terms of programming, easy course in terms of writing intensive requirement.
a good teacher but the course seems a bit rocky.
It is a good course. However, a good course comes from a good professor.
Very useful. By far the most useful ICS class I have taken so far.
