Date entered: 2026-07-10 08:50:09 UTC

Course rating: Excellent

Most useful learnings: How to break down code into smaller bits for testing which also helped code readability. Also having not done much of c++ before learned how to do macros and refactor in c++.

Concepts v exercises: Good balance

Presentation v discussion: Good balance

Course improvements: I feel like during the presentations, James would go on for like an hour and a half and then open up for questions at the end, which is fine but personally I struggle with paying attention for extended periods of time and like it when lectures would have interactive quiz or something in the middle to retain audiences attention.

Exercise rating: Excellent

Exercise improvements:

Challenges to applying: We already do practise TDD so it wouldn't be too hard
