You set yourself up for failure later in the semester. You can&#8217;t meet the learning objectives of this course by doing this sort of thing.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, a student will say, something like &#8220;Yes, but I have prior coding experience, and I should be able to use what I know.&#8221; After nearly a decade of teaching this material, what <em><strong>most<\/strong><\/em> students <em><strong>consistently say to me<\/strong><\/em> is &#8220;I have never had to code before&#8221; and &#8220;I don&#8217;t know how to program&#8221; and so on&#8230; and on&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>So, if you are one of those rare, lucky, plucky few who actually took a programming course in high school (like I did back at the dawn of time), or took an online course (like I have done many times), I say &#8220;Good for you!&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Please understand though, that this little bit of effort you exerted has put you many miles ahead of your peers. So, I respectfully ask you to play along with the <em><strong>majority<\/strong> <strong>of the class.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Who knows?
