Why BTP305 Can Be Challenging

⚠️ Common Challenges

  • • Understanding when to use which design pattern
  • • Implementing patterns correctly in C++
  • • Balancing flexibility vs complexity
  • • Reading and creating UML diagrams
  • • Applying SOLID principles effectively
  • • Refactoring legacy code patterns

✅ How I Help

  • • Real-world examples from my work as a developer
  • • Step-by-step pattern implementation
  • • Understanding the "why" behind each pattern
  • • Workshop and assignment guidance
  • • Code review and refactoring help
  • • Interview prep for design pattern questions

AI Can Name the Pattern. Can You Justify the Design?

Typing out a Singleton was never the hard part of BTP305. Deciding that this problem needs a Factory, and that the simpler option was wrong, is the hard part. AI will make that call for you instantly and confidently, hand you a pattern where a plain function would have done, and produce a UML diagram to match. It compiles, it runs, and you cannot say why any of it is there.

Underneath the pattern it is still C++. AI writes pointer and memory code that compiles and still leaks or segfaults, and design pattern code is where ownership gets confusing fastest: who deletes the object the Factory returned, what the Observer holds a reference to after the subject is gone. Those bugs are runtime bugs, and you cannot debug what you did not reason through.

Assignments and design decisions get defended in person, and technical interviewers ask the same question in the same way: why this design and not the other one. We work through your own project out loud until you can name the alternatives you rejected and say what each one would have cost. AI stays in your workflow, it just stops making the decisions for you.

Can you help if I have been using AI for most of my labs?

Yes, and you are nowhere near the first. There is no lecture about it. We find out what you genuinely understand, rebuild the OOP and C++ ideas underneath it, and get you to where you can design, implement, and defend your own code. None of this makes you a bad student. It makes you a student learning to code in the AI era.
