Will the lectures be recorded?
This quarter, CS107 is offered via CGOE, meaning that lectures will be recorded and posted to Canvas for later viewing. (You can find a full list of when courses are offered on CGOE here). Lecture attendance is also part of the course grade - please see the course syllabus for more information about lectures.
I'm a CGOE/NDO/HCP student - what do logistics for the course look like?
Welcome! We're happy to have you in the class this quarter - check out our CGOE Handout for more information about how different aspects of the course work (such as exams, sections, lecture credit, etc.).
I am taking another class that conflicts with the lecture time. Can I watch a recording or get notes from a friend?
Attendance is required for the class, and most lectures will begin with an in person quiz, lecture is an important part of the course and students find it most effective when they can join us in person. For this reason, we strongly discourage enrolling in conflicting classes, and recommend instead that you wait or rearrange your schedule to permit as much participation as possible in CS107 when you choose to take it. In particular, CS107 will not offer any alternate final exam times so you must arrange to take the final exam at the scheduled time. Lecture attendance is also part of the course grade - please see the course syllabus for more information about lectures.
Are alternate exam times offered for the midterm or final exams?
The midterm examination is in-person and will be administered during class on Wednesday July 15, 1:30PM - 2:45 PM PST. If you have an academic or University conflict with this time, and absolutely cannot make the regularly scheduled midterm, you must submit the exam information form by 11:59PM on Friday, June 26. For any concerns, please email the instructor.
The final examination is in-person and scheduled for Friday, August 14, 3:30PM - 6:30PM PST. There will be no alternate time for the final exam, except for those with relevant official university athletics or Office of Accessible Education accommodations. Please make sure that you can attend the final exam at the specified time before enrolling in the class. If you have any concerns, please reach out to the instructors.
Who should I contact on the course staff for questions I might have?
We are happy to help! You can find information about who to contact for different questions or situations at the bottom of the main homepage.
Do you allow auditors?
If you would like to audit the class, you must reach out to the teaching team for permissions, auditors from the Stanford community are welcome to attend lecture, access to our materials on the course website, but work cannot be handed in. We will not be able to grade work from auditors, nor be able to accommodate them in sections, helper hours or other enrolled student only offerings. If you have access to myth, you can access assignments, by using guest instead of $USER in the cloning command for assignments. If you have questions, please reach out to us.
How does CS107 relate to CS107E?
Both courses cover introductory computer systems with their own take. We think both courses are great! Read the CS107E FAQ for more info on how to weigh the two options.
