Review:
It takes a couple weeks to get used to Professor Couch. Yes, he is like that. Yes, he is like that ALL the time. Lectures are certainly not dull, but don't expect to get down all the notes he presents. Comp 20 moves insanely fast, and it is easy to get behind. One should either have a good working knowledge of programming terminology and a decent familiarity with HTML, or expect to put in a lot of study time learning them. I'm not a Comp Sci major, so I struggled a bit at the beginning. But the good news is that Professor Couch is relatively receptive to meeting with students, and will greatly help you in both understanding the material and doing the assignments. Easily one of my favorite courses at Tufts.

Workload:
Extremely challenging assignments every couple of weeks, two quizzes (fill in the blank), a midterm, and a final exam (longer programming questions).
