What people are saying

micro master so cohesion

as we get from Functional programming languages like Dr Racket moving to Java (imperative language) and building on what we learnt on the first 2 courses to make the micro master so cohesion and coherence in its content.

only random may help

The edX`s "Software Construction: Object-Oriented Design" course has bad explanation of material, Lots of unexplained code and silly questions where only random may help you.

progressive manner yet required

It glossed over the important concepts without connecting the themes together in a progressive manner yet required a high level of understanding in some of the quizzes and in the final project.

dr racket moving

any diagramming done

Introduction to design patterns was nice, but the content is a bit outdated and there was no testing of any diagramming done.
