How my programming class sucks

The title says it. My programming class sucks. Seriously. I honestly do not know where to begin, but I guess it it the teacher that is the worst. He   Is   Bad. First off, I cannot comprehend what he is saying. He has an Eastern European accent, which I thought I was familiar to, but apparently wasn't. The fact that he is a grad school professor teaching part-time at our class doesn't help either. He does not know how to teach beginner students how to program.

You might think I'm a hater and I won't deny it. However, in to case it is not my "hater spirit" that has gotten the better of me. Ask any student that are enrolled into the class, and they will give the same opinion. Nobody. Nobody is listening to what he is saying. 

The exercise questions are not helping either. The professor gives us five to ten questions which are homework to be done by the end of next class. Which is insanely hard. Seriously, it is not the kind of work given out to a beginner in programing and expected to be seen done.

The only saviors in the class are the teaching assistants. One of them is Hayato's elder sister, and she helps the class comprehend the professor's incomprehensible language by translating it into Japanese. Or English. Or C(this the the programing language we are learning). Thanks to her help, I have been able to understand little by little, and four weeks into the course understand a substantial portion of the assignment given out for homework. It isn't homework anymore, because I can finish off most of the problems during class time! I actually think I can survive the mid-term exam coming up this thursday.

I have leaned one important thing in this class:

Ask questions when you do not know.

Seriously. This helps out waaaaaay more than not asking. I know that it is important to think on your own; my father has always been keen on this and brainwashed me on it. Constantly asking questions is not good, and will not enhance you way of thought. 

There are, however, some instances when asking questions is more helpful. This is the case when one has no way of solving a problem. And the programing class is just the instance. It's like trying to write an elaborate Chinese calligraphy, when you can't even write Chinese! 

Ask when you don't have any idea. It's way more helpful.
