<p>1) I not going to be sitting in my teacher’s classes next semester. It will be in the summer semester when I do this. In the spring semester I’m taking a psychology class for my minor and I’m taking business calculus. I can’t take any more computer classes until I take business calc. </p>
<p>2) Yes, I can read code fairly well (the basic stuff at least). My problem with writing a code from scratch is just trying to figure out how to start out. I’m not that bad with filling in the blank when it comes to code, but when I comes to writing it from scratch, I’m terrible. Any tips on writing code from scratch? </p>
<p>3) I go to “University of North Florida”. Their computing programs are really not the best at this college. Many of the professors are very hard and are most unhelpful. Most of the time you are on your own when it comes to figuring out how the code works. I did have a very helpful professor this semester though, and he is the only reason that I was able to pass. Luckily he teaches a lot of the foundation courses for Information and Computer Science. If it weren’t for him being there, I would probably have dropped my major. The only problem with getting help from this teacher was that he was so busy that he could only help you for a limited amount of time, and only at certain times. Plus, because people knew how helpful he was, and because SO MANY students needed help, there were constantly students in his office. This made if very hard to actually find a time when he was able to help you with the material. </p>
<p>The school does have a tutoring lab for computing and information sciences but I have to admit that it’s not really that great. Most of the time, there aren’t enough tutors there and they are too busy to really help you. It’s either that, or they try to work on there school work while they are in there and they are annoyed when you ask them for help. I literally have to fight VERY HARD to actually get them to help me. Going to the tutoring lab for computing help is almost pointless. To tell the truth at the end of the day, the only way that I ever learned anything about computing was when I went to the teacher, when I hired an expensive private tutor of my own, or when I just studied by myself. </p>
<p>The people at the school look at you like you are a moron if you just don’t understand the code right off the bat. But, I try to tell them that code isn’t just “intuitive”: you just don’t GET IT. You have to really work at it a long time, to be able to actually understand it. People treated me like I was the village idiot just because I didn’t get the code initially and that angered me. Apparently there are a lot of people like me at my school though, and most people that enter the computing classes wind up leaving because of this. </p>
<p>4) The kind of programs that we had to write were things that converted Celsius to Farenheit and all these other conversions. We also had to write programs that you would see on i tunes for example. It showed the artist title, picture, etc. The programs were very hard to me to write from scratch. Any more advice?</p>
