From what I hear, the class is very easy. To people who have been familiar with Java for a while, the material is a joke (which is why I'm just going to take the AP exam next spring to get free units).
I've heard pretty good things about it. Some people think it's a piece of cake, but some struggle because it's not really their forte. Either way, most people end up enjoying it because it's a fun class
I have a buddy that took that class in high school. It was the only B he ever got but he said he really enjoyed the class. Plus, he didn't have to take a computers course in college. Intro to computers in college is a nuisance.
