Excellent course. I hope that future students have the honor and privilege to learn about Computer Science from Professor Evans. This course was just an all-around good course. It was challenging and involved quite a bit of work, but it was still fun. In the end, I learned a lot in this course. This is one of the few memorable courses I have in my college life. It is a well desinged course. Registar should make it a formal course. However, I think there should be 2 seperate CS200 sessions, one for SEAS majors and one for school of Arts and Sciences. In that case, the instructor can prepare for the course contents based on students' skill levels.
