CS 197C · Spring 2023
CS 197C (Spring 2023) offers an individual introduction to Computer Science research experiences. Classes will be organized into a once-weekly lecture and a once-weekly small group check-in with course staff and students' individual mentors. Lecture components of the course teach research concepts in computer science, such as reading technical papers, practicing oral communication and technical writing skills, and independently formulating research questions. Students complete course assignments customized to their spring or summer research (e.g., CURIS) projects.
Pre-requisite: 106B. This class is open to any undergraduate doing computer science research in the Spring or Summer 2023. Students must have commitment from an external mentor (e.g., a Ph.D. student or professor) for a 30 minute weekly check-in meeting during the Spring.
