The HTML/CSS part is easier, so make sure you get the best grade possible on the first Quiz. The python part is a bit trickier and takes a lot more practice in general. I entered this class with 0 knowledge of HTML, CSS, or Python and ended up with a B+ (though I could've gotten an A if I had put more effort in honestly). I think the trick to doing well is to attend every single lecture and lab, take detailed notes, and practice, practice, practice. Start with the practice questions in the slides, re-do your lab tasks, ask for extra practice questions, do the non-mandatory practice questions in the labs. Start on your project early on (website development with HTML/CSS) and make sure to use all of the HTML / CSS elements you've learned. Loa is a really nice and accomodating professor, she explains everything thoroughly. You can ask her as many questions as you want and she gave us participation bonus points which helped a lot. She even helped us out by lowering the percentage of the Quiz everyone did badly on and highering the percentage of the one we did generally better on. - **2020-03** — Professor is really kind. The course needs some practice to get high grades. - **2020-03** — Best course, best professor - **2020-03** — shes probably the kindest professor to exist - **2020-03** — The html/css part is really easy, python might seem difficult at first but once you grasp it its actually really easy. - **2020-03** — Loa Is the best teacher the department has for a course of this level. ## See also - [All Computer Science courses at AUB](https://studiety.com/aub/subject/computer-science.md) - [Every AUB subject](https://studiety.com/aub/subjects.md) --- From Studiety (https://studiety.com/), an independent, student-run course guide.
