Announcements

The final grading breakdown between the projects and the final was:

Programming assignments: 55%

Final examination: 20%

Come hang out with other undergrad women studying CS this evening at the Gates Patio, starting at 5:30pm! We’ve been organizing these informal dinner for three quarters now, bringing together a bunch of female students exploring CS, declared CS, or otherwise involved in CS at Stanford without any pressure to do much of anything other than eat good food and hang out. Whether you’re in 106A or just about to graduate, we hope to see you there. Past dinners have been hugely successful, and this last dinner will be an outdoors picnic, with double dessert!

Please give a quick response here so we can estimate food and keep you informed of future dinners, happening twice each quarter and continuing next year. This is a great opportunity to get to know people in your class, meet future project partners, ask advice on classes and life, talk about summer plans, discuss internships and majors, and just share experiences.

Dinner will be available from 5:30pm onward, with double dessert an hour later. Definitely swing by even if you can’t make dinner, as we have the location until 8pm. The Gates Patio is in the grassy area around the back of Gates, and we’ll have signs with directions. We set this up particularly for women studying CS to hang out, though everyone is welcome. We’re excited to continue the energy and buzz of past dinners—over one hundred twenty students have attended and it’s a lot of fun talking and meeting each other.

Looking forward to seeing you!

The deadline for both the Adventure assignment and the contest has been pushed back to midnight tonight. This also means late days have deadlines at midnight instead of at 5pm.

There is no class on Wednesday. Good luck studying for the final!

The final exam for CS106A is being offered at two times. One is Friday morning at 8:30am, and the other is Monday morning at 8:30am. You can go to either exam time without prior approval. We are holding a review session on Wednesday, where we will also announce the winners of the Adventure contest.

Here is a summary of the important dates, times, and locations, also in handout 58.

The final assignment, Adventure, is out. It is due June 4 at 5pm. Remember that late days on this assignment are calendar days and the last possible time we accept the assignment is June 7 at 5pm.

You are free to work with a partner on this assignment, just remember that you need to figure out which section leader is grading and email both section leaders, Jeremy, and Eric. Full administrative details can be found in the handout.

There is also an Adventure contest which is due June 4 at 5pm. Winners of the contest will be announced at the review session.

Jeremy's office hour schedule will be a bit different this week.

The CS106A midterm is this Tuesday, May 8th. There are two times to take the midterm:

Tuesday, May 8, 9:00-11:00am, CEMEX Auditorium

Tuesday, May 8, 3:15-5:15pm, Braun Auditorium

You can take the exam at either time. We are also holding a review session this Sunday, May 6, 7:00-9:00pm in Hewlett 200 where we will go over the practice midterms and answer questions. The slides from the review session are available here.

Please give a quick response so we can estimate food and keep you informed of future dinners, happening once or twice each quarter. This is a great opportunity to get to know people in your class, meet future project partners, ask advice on classes and life, find friendly faces to sit next to in lecture, figure out internships and majors, and just share experiences. We also invite coterms, phds, grads in industry, and professors to join us, just casually eating and talking over free food and dessert. Even if you're just considering CS, you should come!

Dinner will be available from 6:15pm onward, with dessert around 7pm. Definitely swing by even if you can't make dinner, as we have the room until 9pm. We set this up particularly for women studying CS to hang out, though everyone is welcome. We're excited to continue the energy and buzz of past dinners—over one hundred students have attended and we have a lot of fun talking and meeting each other.

Looking forward to seeing you!

Karel is due this Friday at 5pm, and we strongly encourage you to submit before hand to avoid any last second submission problems. If you have any submitting issues, please try watching this video where I demo submitting first, or look on questionhut.com.

Once you submit with Eclipse, you should visit paperless.stanford.edu to verify that your code has been properly submitted. What you see here is what your section leader will see, so it is good to check here beforehand to avoid any confusion about what code was submitted or if it was submitted.

Assignment 1 (Karel and email) goes out today. It is due Friday, April 13th at 5pm. Try and get started early downloading Eclipse, and if you have any problems, you can ask them on questionhut.com. Additionally, we have some helpful YouTube videos that review the process of getting Karel running in Eclipse.
