What’s your favorite class? How has it expanded your knowledge?

My favorite class would be Computer Science II (CS 172) with Professor Peter Drake. I enjoy how this class is structured with partnered programing. We focus on working together to create programs in Java. This class has expanded my knowledge by learning how to break down a big problem into smaller tasks.
