[3/01] Homework clarifications: You can miss one assignment and still pass the course. If you have done all of Homeworks 1-5 at a satisfactory level, you can therefore skip the last assignment, Homework 6. You also do not need to peer-grade Homework 6 since it is due so late in the quarter; the course staff will grade that ourselves.
[2/16] HW4 one-day extension: HW4 can now be turned in by Week7 Wed at 11:59pm, which is a one-day extension. This also extends the due time for submitting HW3 peer grading feedback to that same day/time.
[2/16] Marty's Thu 2/18 office hours this week are moved to the time slot of 10-11am instead of the usual 3-4pm. Sorry for any inconvenience.
[2/13] Mid-quarter survey: Help us make the course better by filling out our short, optional, anonymous CS 193A Mid-Quarter Survey.
