One lab, quiz and medium/large-sized assignment each week. Instructor set up a Discord server which he was very active on, even on late nights. Very helpful and cares about success. TAs were also very active and caring. Textbook was free.

The class was online and all the lectures were videos - but these were good and he organized everything really well. I was lost a few times but he helped a lot when I asked questions

Comment:
Carl spent many hours every week on Discord helping students right up to the assignment deadline at midnight. He went way beyond what he had to do and he was always super helpful. It's on you to watch the videos but he was always there to help with even super basic questions. I learned a ton in this course, Carl is highly recommended

Comment:
While Carl is good at explaining concepts in his lecture videos, if you have any questions regarding the material do not expect much outside help from him. When I met with him he was rude, took a condescending tone, and didn't bother to explain material further; rather, he dismissed me and told me to review text. Your learning is not his priority.

Comment:
I really liked Carl as a person. He's funny and approachable, not much more you can ask for. However, I found the class (especially assignments) pretty difficult. What bothered me the most was that I'd put a lot of work into an assignment, and not get marks for attempting it. But ultimately I'd definitely recommend him, just expect to work hard.

One of the best classes I ever took. The lecture is organized and normally half of the class was spent on the concept and half was spent on demonstrating the concept. The assignment is fun and he will give plenty of class time explaining the specification in class. Learned a lot.

Prof Gutwin is not as good a teacher as he is a researcher- still yet he is one of the best instructors of Comp. Sci. His class was interesting, very indulging, and extremely beneficial.

He shows a lot on how to design UI and even codes in class. However, he is too strict on marks. If you are expecting a higher mark, it is not your choice.

Nice guy and lectures are generally pretty fun (if you like youtube). I don't always agree with his marking though... I've had him for a few classes and his marking on tests can be arbitrarily hard relative to other comp sci profs.

Gutwin has a nice sense of humor and breaks up his lectures nicely with coding examples and videos/demonstrations. I think the course itself tried to cover too much and was vague at times.

Comment:
If you've never programmed, this class may be tough...i suggest you go to class if you haven't coded, as they go through it fairly quick.But I took this all in high school, so it was just a review. If you put effort and time into assignments, you can get thru with a respectable grade with not alot of effort or headache. Overall, I liked him.
