In addition to the course website, we use a few different platforms in CSE 160 to organize resources, grading, and assignments. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with each of the following websites.
Ed - Discussion¶
We use Ed for course discussion. Almost all questions about the course content or the projects should be posted here since this is frequented by the whole course staff.
If you think your question may give away too much information or is more personal, you can always make the question private so it is only visible to the course staff.
For sensitive matters that you only want to discuss with James and Ruth, you can instead email cse160-instructors@cs.washington.edu if that makes you feel more comfortable. Note that the response time for instructor email is longer than posting on the Ed board.
Gradescope - Submissions¶
We use Gradescope for submitting and grading assignments and exams. We’ll also manage homework assignment resubmissions and regrades through Gradescope. See the syllabus for more details.
JupyterHub - Programming¶
This quarter, we’ll use JupyterHub to host the files we’ll work with while programming. JupyterHub provides each student in CSE 160 with their own online Python development environment that includes the relevant assignment starter files. You can think of JupyterHub as a sort of Google Drive for our code files.
Canvas - Grades¶
Like many other CSE courses, we will rarely be using Canvas. All relevant course information is available on the course website or will be posted as announcements on Ed. Do not message to course staff on Canvas, as we don’t check our inbox there.
Zoom - Office Hours¶
We will have an option for students to call into some office hours via Zoom as well as in-person.
To join Zoom, you will need to be logged in with your UW Zoom account. You can view the Zoom links to join office hours on the office hours page.
