As a person with no programming experience at all, the course was a great challenge to me at first. "But isn't that exactly the reason why I took it in the first place? To embrace the challenge, enjoy the process, and find the feeling of achievement in it.", I told my self. Through this 16 weeks, not only I learned knowledge of C++, but also found interest in it. This course is a great start for me to continue learning programming as I pursue further education. My TA has been very helpful and responsive to my questions.
