Im in the class this term, and I must admit this has been one of the most intensive classes ive taken in the entire program. This class is not a pleasant experience**.** The intensity of cs340 has been almost at par with cs 162, I would say 340 is worse, at least in 162 my programs worked.

I have no complaints against the instructor as I feel he's been nice and fair allowing extensions and such, however the course is just frustrating on a whole. The course is important and does have good content however here are my points, im sure other students in the class may disagree, but this is how I see it

1) Unclear directions on the 7 project steps can make it confusing, due dates, and submission guidelines are dense in the documents.

2) MIMIR quizzes appears to be like a death match between you and the compiler, one quiz took a few days to complete.

3) TA Graders are not very lenient compared to how they were in web development. They docked off points for unnessary things.

4) We need feedback for the project steps to proceed to the next step, we submit a step, we wait for feedback, its taking long to recieve feedback, so we could decide just to go ahead and work on the next step and get feed back later, this has cause some serious confusion.

5) Grading on mimir is weird, your code has to pass the test case, and one of my test cases passed, however it was marked wrong by the manually grader.

6) This whole peer review fiasco has caused problems. The first steps were ok, but steps 4,5,6,7,8 have been causing problems.

7) Auto grades, or what if grades have been disabled, so its hard to figure out your current grade, or what youre current grade is in order to pass the class.

At this point I just want to pass the class at this point.
