My thoughts on Computer Science 1

So far, I think this class isn't bad at all. I especially like that we aren't just jumping into material that I have no clue what it means, despite prior experience in Java. I think that starting with something really simple like Scratch got me warmed up to the commands once again, and didn't kill me with work while I tried to figure out what was going on with binary, decimal, etc. I especially enjoy the mindset of this class, how it is not just "Alright class, today you have to do this and this and this" it's more of "Alright class, today you will have to have this done by the end of class, but you can also go experiment with what you want", which for me helps me learn a lot faster, and makes it much more enjoyable. So, I am obviously liking this class, and hope I will like it for the rest of the year.
