We've picked five courses that a computer science major might take. For each, we've chosen ten terms that may be used during the class and encoded them in a simple substitution cipher. The cipher changes from course to course, but it is used consistently throughout one course. For example, the word JAVASCRIPT might appear in a list of terms related to web development as BCDCPLQMON. If so, B represents J in all terms in that list. There's a twist, though; in two words per list, exactly one letter has been left unencoded. Those letters spell out an appropriate 10-letter word.
