i actually couldve really liked web programming (and i sort of did, sometimes) but the huge gap between the labs (which could be challenging but at least Sometimes related back 2 the lecture material and were maybe enjoyable 2 work thru) and the assignments (which have been. a nightmare) is so frustrating. and i GET that self-directed learning is inescapable esp in an online delivery and YEAH its a good skill 2 have even tho i hate it, but i still resent it :^) don't appreciate spending $2000+ for a term/however much an individual course costs to basically have 2 teach myself the majority of the content like, i couldve done that for free :| i wouldntve! bc again, im Very Bad and unmotivated w/ self directed learning, but i couldve! instead i basically paid for my prof 2 (no exaggeration) teach straight off of w3schools for 40 min a week for 14 weeks
#from what ive seen in the discord even the ppl w/ previous web dev experience dont see how#some1 with Zero web programming experience is supposed 2 get thru this course#which is a bummer. bc again i couldve really liked this. and im pretty sure its the only web course of the program :(#and the lecture hour didnt really cover like THEORY per se it just went thru various points from each language#and i wouldve liked more info on like. the principles behind building websites n stuff.#even the history of it altho this is college not uni so we never really cover that in any course lol#i hate college#ok actually in hindsight i liked html/css a lot more than js/php so maybe. i like web design more than backend development or w/e lol#last term my gpa was so far above anything id ever achieved (prev highest was like 2.8 or 2.9 and last term was 3.9 😳)#but this term....... is gonna be. a significant downgrade :| bw web and java course..... oof. ouch#there goes my fragile self worth again! course its easy not 2 attach ur mental wellbeing 2 ur grades when ur grades are always shite#but as soon as u give urself expectations..... oh man. fatal mistake. expectations are The Enemy of Feeling Ok
