C# C# Objects Loops and Final Touches While Loops

Detecting if tower on path "You already saw an example of this in the MapLocation Class" - NO WE DIDN'T???

This is the thing that's bothering me most about teamtreehouse, the inconsistent chronology of what we're learning, and what the teacher thinks we've learnt.

We didn't see loops in the MapLocation class, so why would he say that we've already seen a solution? When you're teaching someone something, you never give them a challenge that's totally out of their grasp, you always give them something that pushes them, but that they're capable of.

Maybe correct the video to say "We'll learn about a few techniques that could be used for a solution in the coming few videos. I'll leave this validation as a challenge for you to complete when you've learnt of features that you believe could help you solve this problem."

The validation pattern he's referring to doesn't use a loop. It would be similar to how we validated that a location was on the map in the MapLocation class. An example was already seen.

I do agree with you Mike, I personally feel that this video/course has been all over the place. Unless you pay for the premium subscription i feel there are a lot of holes and options to learn that are being left out. I have struggled through this whole course with the workspaces changing form video to video if you have not save your work and even then i have received errors in the compiler when copying word for word what the instructor has done. Not to mention that this course is over 5 years old.
