Common EECS 1011 Struggles

❌ Where Students Get Stuck

  • • Zero prior programming experience - where to even start?
  • • Understanding why code works, not just copying it
  • • Loops and logic feel abstract and confusing
  • • Functions feel redundant until they suddenly matter everywhere
  • • OOP introduces a completely new way of thinking
  • • Lab assignments don't match lecture examples

✅ How I Fix It

  • • Start with intuition first - code second
  • • Use real-world analogies that make concepts stick
  • • Walk through problems line-by-line until it clicks
  • • Build debugging habits that prevent common errors
  • • Explain OOP with physical-world examples
  • • Prep specifically for York EECS 1011 labs and exams
