- Find a partner! This quarter many of the assignments and homeworks can be completed and submitted in partnerships, allowing you to discuss material, code, and debug together.
- Visit office hours! See the Weekly Calendar for current availability, noting that all office hours this quarter will either be in-person or virtual, but not hybrid.
- Make a public post about course content on the , where they benefit the whole class. This also allows other students to answer your question so can receive a faster response. This is the best way of asking questions about class-related topics.
- Make a private post to just the course staff on the with any issues you would prefer to discuss privately or questions that involve solutions or partial solutions for ongoing assignments.
- Request a 1-on-1 using . If you feel like you need extra time, can't make it to OH, or want to discuss something privately, please feel free to request a 1-on-1 from the staff!

WHERE DID YOU GROW UP? WHAT WAS YOUR ACADEMIC PATH?
- I was born in Seattle, moved to Dallas for around 10 years, and then moved back! Through middle/high school, I went to a lot of summer camps where we would learn a new coding language by working on a project all week. They used to be the highlight of my summers, and the main reason why I wanted to pursue Computer Science :)
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HOBBIES, TALENTS, AND SKILLS?
- I really love fashion and am interested in designing + making my own clothing, so right now I'm into knitting and (attempting to) sew. I also love to swim!
HAVE YOU DONE OR EXPERIENCED ANYTHING REMARKABLE OR MEMORABLE?
- This question is making me realize I'm really boring because I can't think of an answer :P
WHAT COMMITMENTS WILL BE CONSUMING YOUR CYCLES THIS QUARTER?
- I'll mainly be focusing on my other classes (Distributed systems, AI, and a film class), as well as TAing 333!
