We will release the grades for the Midterm on Gradescope near the end of class. You must log in with your Stanford email to see your score. Solutions and statistics can be found on the Midterm Solution Handout.

We try to grade as consistently as possible, but we are human and we might make mistakes. After reading through the solution handout, if you feel that one of your problems was misgraded, please file a regrade request on Gradescope. Please submit regrade requests by Wednesday, Feburary 26th at 11:59pm PT. Note that your section leader is NOT able to regrade your work. If you submit a regrade request, we do reserve the right to regrade the entire problem and make any necessary corrections.

Any regrade requests after the due date should be directed to Ngoc via email.

We have released both parts of HW6, Baby Names and Baby Graphics. This is a longer assignment, so we suggest that you start early and get help in LaIR and office hours!

In order to access both parts of the assignment handout, you should complete our evaluation survey. It's mostly an opportunity to give feedback on your section leader. The survey should take 5-10 minutes to complete.

Both parts are due Wednesday, February 26th at 11:55pm PT. Ebbi and Diamond will be hosting YEAH as usual on Thursday, Feb 20 at 3:30-4pm in 420-041

We have released HW5, Quilt. You can find it under the Assignments tab. It is due Wednesday, February 19th at 11:55pm PT.

Some of our section leaders (Liam, Arisa, and Ari) will be holding a review session today, 2/7 at 3:30pm in Sriram 104. We will post a recorded version of this session to Ed.

Review Materials:

• We made a midterm prep handout with information about topic coverage, and a bank of problems and solutions.
• We're sharing several old exams: practice midterm 1, practice midterm 2, practice midterm 3. We recommend taking these in an exam-like setting to get a feel for timing.
• You can also find more problems on this week's section handout.

Important Exam Logistics:

1. Please arrive at least 5 minutes early to account for seating and exam distribution. We'll start promptly at 7pm.
2. The exam will be on paper. Please bring a pencil or pen to write with. To be clear, this means no notes, no computers, no phone, unless you have special accomodations.
3. This will be a closed-note exam. We will provide blank scratch paper for you as well as the same reference guide that is on the midterm prep handout.

Good luck studying!

Discussion section signups are now open at this signup link and will close Sunday, January 12th at 5pm PT.
Section signups are NOT first come, first serve - just be sure to fill out the form before it closes. Discussion sections are mandatory.

Even if you signed up for a discussion section on Axess, you will need to sign up for a weekly discussion section through our section management mechanism. You can completely ignore the Axess sections.

We invite you to take the Welcome Survey so that we can get to know you all better!

If you have an OAE letter, please fill out this form by the end of Week 3.

CS106A offers extensive resources and support for students, but if you are interested in an additional weekly section, consider applying for ACE. CS100A, also known as CS106A ACE, is a 1-unit supplementary section designed to build a stronger foundation in computer science. The class will take place Wednesdays 9:30am - 11:30am in building 320 room 220. PLEASE NOTE: ACE does not replace your mandatory CS106A section.

If you are taking CS106A this quarter and feel you would benefit from extra practice in addition to your mandatory CS106A section, consider applying for CS100A. Applications Friday, January 5th at 5 pm.

You can access the application here. If you have any questions about CS106A ACE, feel free to reach out to Abena Ofosu, the CS106A ACE instructor.

ACE is one of the School of Engineering’s Equity and Inclusion initiatives. We want to provide this opportunity for students who come from educationally disadvantaged backgrounds or for anyone who feels they might need additional support in order to succeed. Unfortunately, we must limit enrollment to enable small classes that allow students to have one-on-one interactions with the TA.
