About the Course

CS198B is a 1-unit, Satisfactory/No Credit class aimed at CS106 Section Leaders who want to hone in on their 106B skills.

The course is workshop-based, with a 50-minute full group meeting and a 60-minute small group meeting each occurring weekly throughout the quarter.

These workshops are designed to help you grow as a section leader and provide you with resources and techniques to teach CS106B for the first time (but 106B veterans are also welcome!).
