Week 9

          This week we covered global, class, and instance variables, constructors and destructors, and static and non-static methods in python and java, which were more straightforward than some of the topics covered in the material on the second exam. I know that many people in the class feel that lectures should cover topics like refactoring more than the semantics of the languages, but either way, I feel as though a day has not gone by in class without me learning something new about the languages. Even though CS307 and CS315 were very programming oriented as well, they were not nearly as detailed.
          On Friday we also had to read the first 5 chapters in Refactoring. Unlike some of the other readings we have done this semester, I felt like this one was very long and tedious. Most of the information presented seemed repetitive and, in some cases, common knowledge.
