Java makes me sad.

Office hours:

- You put everything in the main method!
- Yea. So? It works.
- Why do you think I told you to create all those other classes?
- I was sort of wondering that myself.

And later:

- Look. I re-wrote it. Lots of different methods.
- Wow!
- What do you mean wow?
- You use arrays everywhere. That is so cute!
- Cute?
- That's my way of saying that you have to do it over.
- So cute means wrong?
- Only for you.

I showed up in his office. He was there. So, I declared it "office hours" and he didn't object. Ha!

You are supposed to use setters and getters.

There is no group project for this class. You are on your own.

This is getting hard to stomach. What's your assignment? Do you want a "sample answer"?

I mean, teaching others to code Java is a huge responsibility. Who knows, you could wind up coding something that some poor shmuck is going to have to spend his life maintaining.

I might take you up on that at some point, but I was able to figure things out so far. It's just very unpleasant. But I find that people with advanced degrees in theoretical computer science are usually awful when it comes to explaining basic programming.
