This document contains a summary of course logistics for CGOE students.
Welcome to CS107! We are happy to have you in the course this quarter. Since CGOE students are off-campus, there are several aspects of CS107 that are slightly different for CGOE students than for on-campus students, as described below.
For general questions for the Stanford CGOE staff, you can reach the CGOE team at scpd-gradstudents@stanford.edu. For exam-related questions, you can reach the CGOE team at scpd-exams@stanford.edu.
Note: For CGOE NDO students (not HCP students): you must follow visitor guidelines specified here.
Myth Access
Everyone with a SUNET ID can access the myth machines. However, you may not have a home directory created for you once you log in. If you encounter an issue when you try to log into myth where it says “could not chdir to home directory”, then this is the reason why. To fix this, submit a HelpSU ticket here (you only need to open the URL and click on the Submit button) to have your home directory set up:
Lectures
Lectures are recorded and posted within a few hours to the course Canvas site, under the "Panopto Course Videos" tab. The lectures are not live-accessible via streaming, but are viewable roughly live with a slight delay on Canvas under "Panopto Course Videos" by clicking the list item for that lecture.
Lab
Each week, we post lab materials on the course website, along with a link for where to submit answers to exercises. Because CGOE students are off-campus, there are a few different options for you to complete lab problems each week.
- Attend an in-person lab: You are welcome to attend an in-person lab if you would like to (NDO students must make sure to adhere to the requirements mentioned earlier on this page about coming to campus) - to do this, submit your preferences as normal during the preferences window.
- Attend a lab remotely via videochat: we are looking at offering a standalone remote lab if there is sufficient interest in a single time. We will email out during the first week with more information about this option.
- Complete lab problems asynchronously: You can choose to complete the problems on your own (or with partners) - the checkoff sheet link allows you to submit from Wed. at 12:01AM PDT until Saturday at 11:59PM PDT each week. You can feel free to post on the discussion forum with any questions you have while working through labs, and you are encouraged to work with other CGOE students if you would like – you can use the class discussion to find others to work with. For this option, do not submit preferences - once we assign labs based on preferences, you can then enroll in the special CGOE lab.
Assignments
The process for working on, submitting and getting feedback on assignments is identical for both on-campus and CGOE students.
Course Support
We encourage you to take advantage of the discussion forum and the course staff email as mentioned on the course website. We also offer helper hours at scheduled times each week, and CGOE students are welcome to call in to any hours, even in-person-only ones, via videochat; details on times and how to call in are listed on the Getting Help page of the course website. You may also attend helper hours in person (NDO students must make sure to adhere to the requirements mentioned earlier on this page about coming to campus).
