Damn, I go away for a day and this thread explodes. Last time I check it had five resposes. 
Anyway, thanks for the opinions guys. I had that class today and the talk was pretty much the same, no one is happy about the way the class has gone, and no one wanted to switch languages. I equate it to talking a French class and then the professor switches to German halfway through. The sad thing about all this is that the professor has a weak grasp of Java himself, and he is trying to teach it to us. I don't even know much about java yet, and I've already corrected him twice in class since he started with the java. Since I'm an MIS major, I have no problem with having to learn java, but I'd rather do it in a class devoted to java, not some three week run through after getting a foundation in VB.
The written final is this class is going to be a mess. With both java and VB on the same test, I guarantee there we be a lot of people mixing and matching the two into some kind of bastard language right on the test.
