I second this. Taking a course on this level will help you determine if programming is right for you. Even then, it may take an additional course or 2 to really determine if you can handle it. Although I was decent at it, it took me 3 1/2 years of majoring in this to figure out it wasn't for me.

Programming is not easy. The people that are good at it tend to also be very good at high level math and logic.
