Picks from the course feedback of CS-A1120 Programming 2:
- I really appreciate the teacher’s effort in making both the in-person lectures and video lectures available to cater to the preferences of different students. He and the TAs are very helpful, and I’ve learnt a lot from them.
- Lukas Ahrenberg was and is awesome. Always ready to help and taking care of everyone. The excercise sessions were a huge help. I actually got very motivated about programming during this courseand really started to consider changing my minor. These programming courses have been always so well implemented, and I always learn so much.
- Lukas was an amazing guy, great lectures and a good way of handling things when issues arose.
