I currently have only really had experience in the class room... as far as programming classes I have taken the intro to programming class, Java, web authoring and I am currently in Visual basic and C

 * Class Write Up**

This class was different from the others that RJ has taught, he was encouraging working in groups and having one big project rather than small projects due weekly or bi weekly. It was helpful to work in a group, as everyone in our group was of different experience levels. However working in a group was a challenge in itself, I prefer to work alone, but as RJ pointed out that is not how it usually works when you are in the field.
 * How the different structure of the course challenged you and how you overcame those challenges?**

To read the book, look online for tutorials and that learning to code is something that you have to build on…do a little bit each day.
 * What advice would you give to students just beginning the course in future terms?**

If the student feels comfortable enough to help someone else or they have enough understanding of the programs and their functions . I will by default of my career choice have to do another large project, differently I would have chosen a more simplistic large project(less time consuming), or have preferred the whole class working on the same project that builds upon itself each week.
 * How can students realize that they know enough to help others with their programming problems?**
 * Would you do another large project like this one? What would you do differently?**

My program is not complete, due mainly to time constraints, however the code is there and needs additional tweaking.
