Exercise rating:
fair
Exercise improvements:
My background is chemical engineering. I required more explanation on the exercises. For example; I heard about CircularBuffer in this course for the first time. Also; the Flash Program required more explanation as I was not familiar with the inputs and outputs of the flowchart. However; I did learn about those exercise during the exercise from peers.
Instructor comments:
The instructor is very knowledgeable and intelligent. He handled the questions very well. He has good experience on this subject and a good teacher. Although the PowerPoint slides were clear; time spent on explaining the slides was not sufficient.
Better prepared:
Much better
Start tomorrow:
I always work with legacy code. It might take some time for me to apply TDD to test the developed code. However; I will apply TDD in any of my future developments.
Challenges to applying:
a) I work with FORTRAN. This course was based on C/C++. Hence; it was difficult for me to relate the instructions and TDD procedure to my work.
b)Setting up the enironmental variables and the compiler options were challenging.
