Lab Mechanics
Lab is graded on attendance and participation i.e. showing up and filling out an online check-off form as you work, with credit being awarded for a sincere effort as opposed to getting every detail correct. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me!
For getting help in CS107 generally, please see the course website on the office hours mosaic each week and the EdStem forum. My office hours are typically:
- Mondays, 2 - 4 PM, CoDa Basement ☀️
- Wednesdays (with my own former SL Diego!), 7 - 9 PM, CoDa Basement 🌙
The hours may vary by week, so the calendar has the most up-to-date information :)
Feedback
Please feel free to submit anonymous feedback at this 📥 form link! I'm always looking for ways to improve as a TA, so this'll help me a lot: thank you so much in advance!
