Best unit i've taken. Antoni made learning very approachable and structured topics clearly. Videos were provided to show how to answer questions in the test and exam which was incredibly helpful. Highly recommend as C is a very useful language to know, and Antoni makes it easy to learn.
This unit will go down in the history books as one of the greatest. The unit coordinator (Antoni) was very helpful and engaged with the students. Lectures involved live coding which helped break up the content and allows us to solidify skills immediately, and the level of programming is not that intense. The unit focused on building knowledge in C topics rather than assessing us through very hard tests and assessments. The workload, I found, was very manageable, easy to do, and I walked away with a very good understanding of C. 10/10, best programming unit I have done.
Essential unit for Software Engineering / Computer Science students. Best lectures i've ever watched. Week 3 (Pointers) most difficult topic, if you get that down the rest is smooth.
