Apply to CS106A ACE

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.
