Welcome to CS106A! We are happy to have you in the course this quarter. Since many SCPD students are off-campus, there are several aspects of CS106A that are slightly different for SCPD students than for on-campus students, as described below.
SCPD students can watch lectures remotely on Canvas, or stop by lecture in person if they're in the area. CS106A does not record lecture attendance.
Because many SCPD students are off-campus, we offer a few remote discussion sections. Fill out the section signup form and indicate you are SCPD and you will be assigned a virtual section! If you're on campus on a given week, you're welcome to stop by another section in person.
The process for working on and submitting assignments is identical for both on-campus and SCPD students.
Ngoc will have an option for virtual office hours each week.
All SCPD students are given access to the virtual LaIR, which is conducted at the same time as in-person LaIR. Use the same signup link from the website to join the virtual LaIR queue. A note for other students reading: this option is only available to SCPD students or those granted special permission from Ngoc.
Additionally, please feel free to email your SL for any questions you may have about assignments, logistics, etc.; they are your primary point of contact for the course.
Exams are administered by your registered SCPD exam monitor. You will have a 24-hour window from the start of the on-campus exam in which to begin the exam, and you will have the same alloted exam time (60 minutes for the midterm exam, 90 minutes for the final exam). Please contact Ngoc ASAP if this will present any scheduling issues.
You may also take exams on campus; if you'd like to do this, please email Ngoc to let us know you will be taking the exam on campus. Note that, per SCPD guidelines, you still need a registered exam monitor even if you will be taking the exam on campus. In this case, you may list the course staff as your monitor if you'd like.
After they are graded, exams will be returned to you electronically via Gradescope as with on-campus exams.
