28.   Additional Comments
Fantastic class!
Definitely the best ICS class I've taken throughout my UH career.
Professor Moore was helpful when we had questions. He also challenged us to think through problems, was fair at grading and gave encouraging feedback.
Most of the stuff we learned was in videos by Phillip Johnson, Cam moore was always open for questions during his office hours though.
Video breakdowns of assignments, available to ask questions if we needed help and had an area in our class discord where anyone could ask questions. Was super direct with assignments to what was required of us.
I really enjoyed this class - it taught me a lot of valuable information and skills, such as basic web design, how to create software collaboratively, and how to work with large pre-written frameworks and libraries. The instructor was great - I had Moore for ICS 211 as well, and he was an excellent instructor there too. The TA, Brandon, was very helpful and available, which really came in handy with some of our final project layout bugs. Perhaps the only criticism I have is that the all or nothing grading scheme for the WODs can be quite stressful, and I think it would make sense to add some extra credit for reaching the faster Rx times, as the current system doesn't recognize the difference between completely acing a problem and barely squeaking by, or barely falling short and having absolutely no idea what to do. That said, there is a pretty plentiful amount of extra credit already, so I understand if that's the reason why. Overall, I had an excellent semester and would definitely recommend this course to other students. Thank you Professor Moore!
the pace of the course was a little too fast for me to really soak in the new content
This is my favorite class that I've taken so far at UH Manoa. I didn't start the semester as well as I would've liked because of the way WODs work, I failed the first couple WODs because of silly little mistakes. But once got that first passing WOD, that's when everything started clicking and I passed every WOD after that.
I thought this course helped me understand what software engineering is and the tools I need for this field.
