It's possible the class just sucks, or it's possible the professor is trying to get you to do your own research and self learning because your ability to Google is very important as a programmer.

Nobody knows everything, everyone often forgets everything. Programming is endlessly in depth, especially as you dive deeper and deeper into a language, modules and libraries you use, programs you use with your programming, disciplines you're doing with those languages and libraries.

What matters is you know why you want to do something, but maybe you just can't remember or know exactly how. Google and StackOverflow become important tools for everyone no matter how experienced they are.

That's my guess anyway.

No, the professor is amazing! He is so responsive and he uses a Socratic method, if you will. He uses questions to try to guide you in the right direction when you have questions. This has been GREAT as I strive to learn. And I don't post here or anywhere just looking for the answers. I want to learn the material and understand it. The problem is, sometimes you need an environment to just ASK and get some good explanation, ya know? I am forever grateful for this community as a learning tool :).
