we have to learn self study....

I feel strongly that even though we are learning the same knowledge about regular expression in both courses csc207 and csc236, I understand better on csc236 than on csc207.
Hence, I believe instructors and the strategy for teaching matter a lot when it comes to learning new knowledge. As I go from elementary school, middle school, high school and now university, I feel that we have more abilities to learn, but the instructor has less strategies to teach.

Though I don't prefer this situation, I have to admit that this process is necessary to make people learn to self study. No one will teach you forever. It's yourself who learns the knowledge.
CSC236 is one of the course that I can mostly understand during the lecture.
So I recommend this course to all the CS students.....(though it's a program requirment)
