We've released a practice midterm to help you prepare for Monday's upcoming midterm (sorry for the delay in posting the PDF!) This handout contains midterm logistics including room locations, and I would strongly suggest working through the practice midterm under exam conditions to get a better sense for what it's like to write code on paper.
We have also put together a handout on exam strategies that goes over some useful tips and tricks for taking a CS midterm.
Let us know if there's anything else we can help out with!
There has been a minor change to the assignment due dates for CS106A, with Assignments #2-5 being pushed back one day. The updated schedule is available in the Syllabus handout. If this causes any scheduling problems, please let us know ASAP.
Section assignments have been finalized and many of you have received an email introducing you to your section leader. However, we had a bit of a technical mishap on our end and some of you may not have heard back with your section assignment yet. To view your current section assignment, you can visit http://cs198.stanford.edu and log in with your SUNetID to get details.
Because sections have been assigned, you can now submit assignments through Eclipse (see Handout #07: Submitting Work for more details). Once you've submitted your assignments, you can check whether they were successfully received by visiting http://paperless.stanford.edu, where you can view your submission. If you have any trouble with the submitter, please let Jeremy know ASAP.
Assignment #1 submission is not yet open, but will be once section assignments are given out.
Assignment #1 goes out today, and you can download the starter project on the assignments page. The assignment has two parts. The first part is to send an email to Keith, Jeremy, and your section leader. The second part is karel.
The Karel portion of the assignment is due Friday, January 20 at 3:15. The email is due Sunday, January 22 at 11:59PM.
Please refer to the handouts for getting set up with Eclipse and Karel. If you have questions on getting set up you should ask them on QuestionHut.com. This is the best and fastest way to get your question resolved, and since there are many people in the class, lots of people have the same questions. You're question may already be answered or others probably have the same question as you.
There are some supplemental videos for getting started with Eclipse and Karel on our YouTube channel.
Welcome to CS106A! We have a great class planned this quarter with lots of exciting material to cover. The class meets Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 3:15-4:05 in NVIDIA Auditorium in the Huang Engineering Center.
The class is 5 units, but can be taken for 3 units by graduate students. You do not need to sign up for a section on Axess. Section signup information will be given in class.
