Frequently Asked Questions

Will the lectures be recorded?

This quarter, CS107 is offered via SCPD, meaning that lectures will be recorded and posted to Canvas for later viewing. (You can find a full list of when courses are offered on SCPD here). Lecture attendance or quizzes are also part of the course grade - please see the course syllabus for more information about lectures.

I'm an SCPD/NDO/HCP student - what do logistics for the course look like?

Welcome! We're happy to have you in the class this quarter - check out our SCPD Handout for more information about how different aspects of the course work (such as exams, sections, lecture credit, etc.).

I am taking another class that conflicts with the lecture time. Can I watch a recording or get notes from a friend?

Lecture is an important part of the course and students find it most effective when they can join us in person. For this reason, while we will have lecture recordings available, we are also making (in-person for non-SCPD students) lecture attendance part of the course grade. Therefore, we highly discourage enrolling in conflicting classes, and recommend instead that you wait or rearrange your schedule to permit as much participation as possible in CS107 when you choose to take it. Enrolling in conflicting courses is also disallowed by university policy. Additionally, CS107 will not offer any alternate exam times (except for relevant OAE accommodations/university athletics/emergency circumstances) so you must arrange to take the final exam at the scheduled time. Please see the course syllabus for more information about lectures.

Are alternate exam times offered for the midterm or final exams?

We are not able to offer alternate exam times (except for relevant OAE accommodations/university athletics/emergency circumstances) so you must arrange to take the midterm and final exams at the scheduled time. Please see the course syllabus for more information about lectures.

Who should I contact on the course staff for questions I might have?

We are happy to help! You can find information about who to contact for different questions or situations at the bottom of the main homepage.

Do you allow auditors?

Auditing for members of the Stanford community is generally allowed, but please let us know if you plan to audit the class. NOTE: As an auditor, you will not have access to the full/same set of resources as the students (you won't be able to post questions on online discussion forums or submit assignments). For more on auditing, please email us.
