Are you a student looking for information about how the course will be structured in Spring Quarter 2024? You're in the right place!
Are lectures recorded? Is attendance required?
Lectures meet MWF 1:30 PM - 2:20 PM in Hewlett 200. We encourage you to join us in person, but recordings will also be posted to Canvas for later asynchronous viewing. We very much encourage live attendance but do not require it. Read more about lectures.
How will sections work? Is attendance required?
Each of you will be assigned to a small group section that meets weekly. Section participation is expected and contributes to your course grade. Note the section times listed in Axess are not accurate. Section times will be arranged in the first week of the quarter. Read more about section.
Will there be exams?
Yes, at mid-quarter and end-quarter. Read more about exams.
I am currently unable to enroll on Axess. How can I shop the course in the meantime?
Canvas has recently enabled "course shopping", and we configured our Canvas site to be "open for shopping"; this allows you to access videos without enrolling. Note that you must be formally enrolled on Axess to submit work for grading.
Do you allow auditors?
Auditors are welcome to attend lecture, access website materials, and work on section and assignments on their own without submitting. We will not be able to grade work from auditors, nor can auditors be accommodated in sections, helper hours, or the online forum.
How do I choose which of the intro courses is right for me?
Most incoming students find the right place by starting in either CS106A or CS106B, or, more rarely, in CS107. You may also want to consider adding on one of the CS106B companion courses, CS100B, CS106L, and CS106M. Read more about the options in our guide to course placement.
