Well, I've attended at least one lecture session for all of my classes so I think it's time I brought about some opinions about them.
Math 122 looks easy, though I know I'm going to eat my words. We start with my least (and worst) favorite part of math 12 (combinatorials and stuff), but I think it'll get a bit interesting later. The prof looks pretty good, though.
Engineering 240 is a writing class, despite its name. It's exactly what I expected it to be, though one of the assignments should be interesting. We're gonna have to give a set of professional instructions on how to do just about anything. I already know what mine's going to be. I'll give a hint: it starts with an "s", and then it's followed by a more different "s".
Stat 260 is a simple enough looking statistics course, though I want to see some number crunching before I make any opinions about it. The prof looks decent.
Elec 255 looks alright. It's a class on signal processing, or, in layman's terms, converting some form of electronic input to some form of output. It looks interesting, but all we did was complex numbers today, which I already know (it's used a lot in electrical engineering).
Software Engineering 265 probably looks most interesting out of the classes I'm taking. It's programming, but it's more about techniques for good programming as well as group projects. We're doing C again, though starting over from scratch, we should go through it more quickly than last time, especially with a better prof. However, we're also doing Python later in the term, which I don't know that well.
And just when I thought I was home free with not having to worry about bad profs, I just had comp sci 225. It's about computer architecture which means it's a bit more about hardware than coding, something I don't really know about too well. And the professor is horrible. He goes off on tangents a lot, he stutters a lot and he's got a strong East Indian accent. He sounds like a smart and nice guy (he's got a Ph. D), but I don't know how well he can teach. And I don't think there are other options for lecture hours for me, so I may be screwed with that. But hopefully, things will be alright.

I hope your classes all turn out alright. Good luck with your comp sci prof. I hope if he doesn't turn out to be any good that you can find a second year student or someone who know the stuff to help if you can't learn it from a textbook.
