HTML JS Web development
I once asked a question and he made sure I understood it well. He seems to know the material well.
Professor Moore teaches in a very practical way, a lot of what we learn can be directly applied to current work in industry. He also emphasizes the importance of adhering to the industry standard when we do our assignments.
Very Helpful at office hours
His preparation and website for teaching the course was great.

Picky grading for the final project.
N/A
n/a
n/a
not sure
Wish there was more example videos.
some of the class time could be used for instruction, rather than only practice
Nothing really, I liked the structure of the class
none
I feel like I wasn't learning much with some of the experiences because I was just following the instructions.
Nothing
Some instructions on website modules were sometimes outdated which led to confusion.
None
I did not like that he wasn't really able to help with a few of my questions, and that the class was more of a you have to learn on your own type of class.
None
Sometimes appeared annoyed when answering questions.

8.   Which aspect of the course were most valuable?
Creating our professional persona.
The WODS!!!!
Quality of class assignments, quizzes, TA hours, and projects.
The practice WODs were a good gauge of how well we understood the concepts and a good way to reinforce the concepts learned. Overall a very valuable course.
learned software engineering process, different web application framework, professional developement
Working in pairs for the wods.
Easy to reach them outside of classroom hours.
learning practical, hands on software engineering skills
Every concept we went over in class was very valuable information that I may apply in the future.
experience
The WODs were good practice. It made sure that I could complete the assignment and on finish it quickly.
The timed coding assignments we did in class were a great way to reinforce what we are learning and allows us to realistically test our grasp on a subject
I would say the most valuable part of the course is the project. The project really tests your knowledge and its a good experience.
The hands on practice
Having short timed code challenges in-class allowed me to be more confident in my skills as a programmer.
I’m class exercises and wods
The aspect of the course that were most valuable was that there was a practice Ana WOD, and that a lot of given practice problems, and solutions were provided.
The walkthrough videos for all the assignments
The WODs were the most valuable. Taught me how to program under pressure.
WODS were helpful for demonstrating understanding, website provided links to a lot of resources we could use outside of this class


9.   Which aspect of the course were least valuable?
Writing technical essays.
I can't say that I am a fan of the "reverse learning" or whatever it's called. With all the lectures pre-recorded, it seems like a robot could teach this class. I also wish there was more accountability for the final group project.
n/a
not sure
Can be a tough grader.
None
Some of the experiences didn't have any material to learn from except from doing the experience itself.
The screencasts were hard to follow, but this is a personal issue as I don't learn well in flipped classroom settings.
The WODS were least liked, but they were valuable. Least valuable I don't know.
Learning "React" was the least valuable, but all lessons learned through this course did feel useful.
None
I didn't like that we had to learn the materials on our own. I would have liked to learned during class, and not work on only the WODs.
None
I think it depends on what areas of CS you want to focus on. Since we breifly went through a lot of topics some people may not have had enough time with a specific area.


10.   Other comments?
I would suggest having some of the longer experiences be worth more points. A lot of times it felt that doing the longer experiences was not worth the time investment when we only get 10 points for completing them.
n/a
Overall doable but challenging course, highly recommend because of the real world examples and up to date software and web development.
None
none
