There are multiple things that I think that I could learn from this class. Some areas that I am very unfamiliar with are UML diagrams and Regular Expressions. My previous experience in the Computer Science field is a two year program at Anoka Ramsey Community College. While there, I learned the fundamentals of programming in C++. I also took a course in Java and Python, which covered introductory to intermediate topics. That's why these advanced topics have not been introduced to me yet, and I look forward to learning.
One topic that I feel that I have a good handle on is writing comments. My instructor from Anoka Ramsey stressed the need from day one to write very informative comments, and would grade accordingly. I know to keep commenting as I write code, and not to add it all at the end.

Well, In our school, we also learn scheme and python in 1901 course and we have 1902 course for java and data structure. BTW, I think it is really hard to write good comments to make people easily understand your code. Do you have any suggestions for good commenting style?
