Does Anyone Know More About The Actual Classes?

I was wanting to know if anyone knew more about the actual classes. Is the class meeting once a week, or every consecutive day? Do the students have just this class for the week or day, or are they juggling multiple of classes? Are their any classes that should be taken in conjunction with this class that would help?

Main reason for my questions is because maybe I've just been out of school a while, but I'm finding it hard to grasp the concepts. In every video he just flies through the material, no one asks any real questions. I've started doing some of the assignments and reading, that helps. I just wonder if it takes a while to wrap your whole head around 'coding as a whole', or if it's all just going over my head. I just finished the 4th lecture and was totally lost. Now I'm going back through each one with a fine tooth comb and not moving ahead until I grasp the concept.

Just looking for some feedback.

Hey nim6us, don't worry too much. Thats the way most universities work. The teacher exposes concepts, you get overwhelmed and go to the books, try some exercices, get stuck, talk to your friends, get another look at the books, search google, do whatever it takes and then get unstuck. If other people can do it you can do it too.

Feel free to find me at gtalk macabro22 at gmail dot com. I will help you out.
