Here are some links and information that are specific to SCPD students in CS 106B this quarter:
Some of our section leaders are offering online SCPD-only office hours each week. The SL will be available for live video chat using Google Hangouts. If you are an SCPD student, you should have received information by email regarding how to connect and chat with the section leaders. The SLs are available on the following days and times:
All SCPD students should fill out the following CS 106B SCPD Google form to give us information about your exam time and proctor. (On-campus Stanford 106B students who are not enrolled through SCPD should not fill out this form; it is for SCPD students only.)
A few of our course policies are modified to suit SCPD students:
Section participation: Due to the asynchronous nature of SCPD, SCPD students will not be graded on section participation. Those points will be redistributed evenly into the other categories of points for the course (homework, midterm, final exam).
Interactive Grading: SCPD students don't participate in interactive grading. You still get feedback about their program from their SL in the form of comments marked on their program in our Paperless system. If you have additional questions about your homework grading, you can ask your SL, and if that does not resolve them, you can contact the head TA.
Section: If you live locally near Stanford, you may email a section leader and ask for permission to attend their section. You will be automatically enrolled in the SCPD section, which is carried by video. (Go to the same page as the SCPD lecture videos and look for the one each week labeled, "problem session" or "section".) Your enrollment will not be moved to a different section, but again, you are welcome to email a section leader to request permission to attend. Even if you do attend, you will not be graded on section attendance/participation.
Getting Help: Many of our class resources are available to you. You can post on the course Piazza board, as well as emailing your section leader and/or the Head TA, if you have questions about the class, homework, etc. We will also hold SCPD-only online office hours weekly (time TBA) using Google Hangouts. You can connect with us there to ask questions and get help on homework.
Exams: If you live locally near Stanford, you are welcome to come to our regular exam in person. Otherwise, SCPD students must take their exams with an SCPD-approved proctor. The SCPD office should be working with you to identify an appropriate proctor for your exam. Generally students use a professional service or have their supervisor at work get approved to do it, but the SCPD office can give you more guidance there.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any other questions about taking this course via SCPD. As always, the best way to contact us is to email your section leader first (if you've been assigned to a section), then the Head TA, and lastly the instructor.
