<p>2.Sinec the major is hard, i think it would be better to gove more support to ICS students.</p>

<li>Effectively budgeting time toward planning vs. implementation can be difficult. In some projects, starting implementation too early has later required reworking of large chunks of code, whereas, in some others, over-allocated time to design has ultimately costed quality in the final product(s) when under time constraints.</li>
<li>The existence of several correct ways to fulfill functionalities can tempt “over-fixing” of assignments / projects when small improvements are possible. Sometimes, a large amount of time potentially used for a relatively small / trite improvement is better spent on other tasks.</li>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">3. Flipped classrooms can be hard to grasp new concepts since it's not very common with lower level classes. So maybe create an easier transition or create different ways to effectively teach the basics of coding through online methods. </span></p>

<p>1. I think that in many (but not necessarily all) of the "flipped classroom" formats, it can be difficult to learn because it is hard to ask questions when they arise.</p>
<p>2. I am not entirely sure how I would change it myself, but sometimes I feel as if the progression of courses could be improved in the computer science degree path. I have found that some of what I have learned in my more recent classes would have been fundamentally helpful in the more introductory courses.</p>

<p>3. I think consistency could also be improved upon in the UH ICS program. For example, I feel like the software that we are required to acquire could be kept more consistent across courses. I understand that there would be exceptions though for specific electives. </p>
