Announcements
- [9/27] Welcome to STARS Pre-CSE - Autumn 2019!
General information
Students will practice the essential skills required to be successful in computer science including the general problem solving process, computational thinking, persistence, communication and collaboration, creativity as well as time management. These skills will be used as strategies and approaches for learning topics taught in a typical "CS 1" class: abstraction, managing complexity, processing of data, algorithms and programming, and debugging. Students will also learn the programming tools used in CS 142/143 and participate in student lead discussion sessions on current events and topics related to computer science.

Getting Help
Your first stop for most questions should be our Ed Discussion board, but do not post any part of your homework solutions there (do NOT post all or part of a solution to an assignment, even to ask what is wrong with it. This includes an highly detailed descriptions of your solution to an assignment.) Detailed debugging is best handled in office hours or during check ins.
For questions involving personal matters send email to cse190z-staff or the instructor. You may also send Anonymous Feedback at any time, but understand we can not respond to you directly if you do. Responses, if possible, will be broadcast to the class as a whole or systematic changes to the class when necessary.
