I don't, but I mostly ignored the lectures as I'd been programming for most of my life already at that point, so I read the textbooks and showed up to the groups (the TA for my group was a member of Crusaders[1], which was fun). I think I attended a grand total of two lectures.
I do remember we found a really embarrassing algorithm choice in the Stack class, though (push and pop at the time were O(n), as it used a singly linked list that they iterated through recursively to find the top of the stack... we found that out on a group project where we kept running out stack space because of the recursion...)
