It’s going to be brutal. It will take a lot more time than you plan. Become good friends with the TA and professor. Start reading up on it now. Good luck.
Is there an easier programming class? At my school, there is a completely introductory programming class, meant for people who have never written one line of code in their life.
In your introductory class, expect to learn a lot of basics about logic and algorithms. You’ll learn how to think like a programmer. The structure of your class depends on the professor. Some will give a lot of little assignments, to really drill concepts into your head. Others will give a few big projects.
Being good with patterns will definitely help you a lot in terms of programming. Java isn’t too bad of a language, but I think there are simpler first programming languages out there.
