What aspects of this course were most beneficial to you?
2. Everything. I was opened up to many new aspects of programming.
3. The homework assignments were the most beneficial part of the course. They supplemented the lecture and reading material very well.
4. Learn not just reuse the code but the ideas.

6. Programming thought and programming ability.
8. It has made me a better programmer - caused me to see code differently. Is directly applicable to my work.

What do you suggest to improve this course?
2. Nothing.
5. wish there was a bit more discussion on in the discussion group.
6. Encourage participation from the students
8. Cover more patterns.
9. - Need to add more structure to projects. The intent may have been to leave it a bit open ended so as to encourage creativity, but felt it was left too open and at times felt lost
Comment on the grading procedures and exams
2. Recieving grades a bit soon would be beneficial, but everyone is busy occasionally. This was still not a problem.
6. Good.
8. Extremely fair grading. No surprises on exam - exactly what was covered.
9. Fair and impartial
Other comments?
1. I feel like a better name for the course would be "Patterns and Advanced Java". While the teaching style was great, the information seemed more like a vocabulary list style memorization exercise, at least at first.
2. Great course. Challenged me thoughout the course from week 1.
6. Of course, I will take this instructor for another course. He is the first instructor for me in DePaul and he is very impressive to me.
7. I think the hardest part of the course was the final project. It required extensive work.
8. I'm very happy with this class overall.
9. I believe Prof. Reily is a very knowledgeable person and has great interest in the field. I also feel his lectures are quite stimulating and informative, however, as stated earlier, may need improvement in the "hands-on" or practical teaching methods.
