Tonight was my first night of classes for this term, and tonight’s class was with the teacher I swore I would never take a class from again. I need the class though, and I’ve no idea when it will be offered again so I’m sucking it up.
Class tonight reminded me of why I swore what I did, and it has me contemplating whether or not I could find a different way to do the class. The class is Data Structures and Algorithms. It is reputed to be one of the more difficult of the classes in the Computer Science major, and for whatever reason this instructor has decided that we don’t need a textbook.
You read that correctly, we don’t have any type of textbook for the class in order to learn what we need to learn.
To say I feel apprehensive about this class would be putting it mildly. I’m already feeling the need to reach for a TUMS or Mylanta. I have a strong suspicion that I’m going to be more than a little grumpy for the next 8 weeks.
