By mistake wrote the wrong name for instructor. I wrote Dr. Chuck instead of Dr. Charles Severance. Please correct that in previous comment/review. Thanks

Tried a C course before this and glad i decided to switch over to this class, this should be how everyone learns to code, it feels just challenging enough
