Greetings

I really hate blogging but since it is required for this course I will try to make a genuine effort to write something at least once per week.

To start I have to say the first two weeks of the course with Dusin Wehr did not leave a good impression. The first class I honestly had no idea what the instructor was even attempting to teach or show us. He was just all over the place with little explanation for anything. In his defence, I would say he was likely just nervous and exhausted. He didn't seem to have much, if any, teaching experience and standing in front of a room of hundreds of students to teach isn't easy. If he hasn't yet, he should speak with 108's instructors to go over what was taught, as he didn't seem entirely sure what level we are currently at.

The second week was better, but still seemed a bit disjointed. He did go over things and explain concepts better, but still felt a bit confusing, though that may also be attributed to my own short attention span in the classroom.

I really don't know what to say about Object-Oriented Programming which is supposed to be the topic this week. Perhaps I'll have something to say about it later in the course, but for now all I can say is I enjoy coding in the OOP languages I know, but I don't know how they differ from non-object-oriented languages.
