Vague instructions. Unhelpful lectures. Grades harshly with no rubric. Test averages in the 40s.
How to survive:
*Do the Onramp. It's really helpful, especially if you don't know how to code.
*Start assignments EARLY. You will always have questions.
*Seek outside help. Go to GEEKS or his office hours.
*The time limit is your biggest enemy on tests.
