so, you took it first at UMCP? so, you already had a full semester preview of the course BEFORE you took it at UMCP? hmmmmm...
full seme+ster preview...pfft...like taking pascal...fotran...anatom
y chem i had time to hardly go...
besides...the professors answered every question with " the answer is in the book" C++ is UMCPs weed out course for the comp sci program and its tough....
at PGCC the professors damn near did the projects for us...
at UMCP the C++ course...most people have to take it 2ice before the get close to an A..the professor came into class and said on day 1 " i only hand out 4 As in this class and most of you are going to fail, so this is your chance to leave"...i'd like to hear that at PGCC

you r doing a great injustice to the UMCP compsci and engineering programs , which are tough programs
