How to get through C++?

[Abe]

I have been a gamer my whole life. I think it's damn awesome that people create video games and get paid to do it. Which is why I decided to take the GSP program at DeVry.

Recently, I have been taking courses at DeVry to learn C++, it's absolutely terrible. You only go to school two (sometimes one) times out of the week, it's only 3-4 hours long, they expect you to teach yourself most of the time, and tuition pay is atrocious.

My problem is I have learned some stuff in introduction to C++, but now I'm in intermediate c++ w/ Object-Oriented-Programming (OOP) and it's SO DAMN DIFFICULT! I have cried myself to sleep at night, trying to understand this stuff. It's like they tell me for example 1+1 = 2 (ok ok I get it), 2*3 = 6 ( uuuhhh ... Ok sure), now calculate the size of the moon (WTF IS THIS?!)

If anyone has been to DeVry and studied this C++ stuff, my question to you is how did you possibly get through this? Is there another school that could teach it better or something? I'm losing my mind!

Hi Abe,

My name is Chris and I'm an employee with DeVry University. I'm sorry to hear about this and would like to offer some resources that might assist you with your concerns.

Have you tried speaking to your professor or fellow classmates? The professor will be able to provide you with some guidance and resources that would match up with the specific problems you are having with C++. Also, your student success coach or advisor should be able to recommend resources and provide some guidance.

You may also try reaching out to fellow students by posting your question on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/DEVRYUNIVERSITY

Additionally, you can explore some support options through the DeVry Aspire Student Assistance Program: http://www.devryaspire.com/

I appreciate your feedback on the learning process and tuition and would like to know more. Please feel free to e-mail us at DeVrySocial@DeVry.edu with any additional feedback you would like to provide.

Keep striving towards your goals!

Sincerely,

Chris
