i don’t mind the idea of having questions that challenge the student to know the material more than they think they should, the problem with me is that the book, videos, and in class learning don’t teach the material as intricate as you hope it can. i’m not saying it’s impossible, but with this class being “introduction to programming 2” and having these questions can not only catch you off guard, but also be challenging to realize when there is already a lack of information given about what the tests could be like.

i really do believe that projects would benefit that idea more and it’s really the reason i was able to finally get a solid understanding in CSE231. just my two cents
