Average rating 5
I decided to take the Java class because it was an elective for my major, and I felt there were limitations to learning it on my own. Since I had encountered C language first, it was difficult to understand Java concepts, but the professor not only explained the differences between C and Java but also specifically pointed out and explained, "While it works this way in native code, Java processes it this way!", which was very helpful. Due to my shortcomings, I regret not getting the grades I wanted on the midterm and final exams, but I think it was helpful just to learn what the Java language is and how it works. If I were to give a tip to students, I recommend going to a library or bookstore, buying a basic Java concepts book that suits you, and studying along with it. Listening to lectures is good, but it might create a misunderstanding of what you've understood, so I recommend reading it in text, listening to lectures, and doing both simultaneously. Don't skip all the codes in the PPT; execute each one at least once and review them. If names overlap, it's good to just create another directory and repeat. Lastly, I recommend asking an AI to generate problems relevant to the topic and solving them yourself.

Perhaps this lecture is optimized for those who are encountering Java after already knowing C. Fortunately, it seems that is exactly your situation. I believe you will be able to understand Java more deeply. Although you may have felt regret about your grades, I am confident that it won't be a big problem once you become a practical developer. Perhaps it may be a somewhat circuitous learning path, but I can tell you that consistently practicing with hands-on exercises, theory, and even problem-solving using AI, as you are doing now, is the right way to go. I am confident you will do well and achieve good results. :)
