Asking Questions & Getting Help
It is very important to us that you succeed in CSE 369! Outside of lectures and labs, there are several ways to ask questions or discuss course issues:
- Visit labs and office hours! See the Weekly Calendar for current availability, noting that these will all be run in a hybrid fashion (in-person AND virtual).
- 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 office hours, or want to discuss something privately, please feel free to request a 1-on-1 from the staff!
- Send to the course staff. The instructor will try to address the issue and share it with others only as appropriate, but will not have a way to reply to you without addressing the whole class.

- ultimate frisbee, board games, hiking, camping, singing (a cappella)
- I am decently dexterous with my left hand.
- I can solve a few variants of the Rubik's Cube (I am NOT a speedcuber).
HAVE YOU DONE OR EXPERIENCED ANYTHING REMARKABLE OR MEMORABLE?
- So I have this story that involves kayaking, sea lions, a long night on a rock beach, a 🚁, and the coast guard...
- I once 🏃 a marathon. It was long.
WHAT COMMITMENTS WILL BE CONSUMING YOUR CYCLES THIS QUARTER?
- Teaching EE/CSE371 and CSE369
- Taking care of my 👧
- Co-leading CSE General TA Training

WHERE DID YOU GROW UP? WHAT WAS YOUR ACADEMIC PATH?
- I grew up in the suburbs of Tacoma, Washington. So, I'd say that I'm pretty familiar with the state. My path in college was to become a computer engineer with a focus on digital design, which was one of the many reasons why I applied to be a TA for this course.
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HOBBIES, TALENTS, AND SKILLS?
- Some of my hobbies include playing video games, watching anime, and listening to video essays and documentaries in my free time.
HAVE YOU DONE OR EXPERIENCED ANYTHING REMARKABLE OR MEMORABLE?
- I'd say that I'm quite proud of the CPU design I made in CSE469 (which I highly recommend taking) and was satisfied to see it work.
WHAT COMMITMENTS WILL BE CONSUMING YOUR CYCLES THIS QUARTER?
- I'm going part time this quarter, so I got two STEM classes along with being a TA for this class this quarter.

WHERE DID YOU GROW UP? WHAT WAS YOUR ACADEMIC PATH?
- I was born in South Korea, but I moved to China when I was 1 and lived there for 12 years. Then I moved to Vancouver, Canada for middle school and high school. Now I’m here at UW pursuing computer engineering major. Initially, I entered UW with an engineering undeclared major, but I discovered my passion for CE after taking CSE intro classes during my freshman year.
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HOBBIES, TALENTS, AND SKILLS?
- I love watching movies! Especially biographical films based on true stories.
HAVE YOU DONE OR EXPERIENCED ANYTHING REMARKABLE OR MEMORABLE?
- I had the opportunity to publish a research paper last summer!
WHAT COMMITMENTS WILL BE CONSUMING YOUR CYCLES THIS QUARTER?
- I will be taking 2 CSE courses (CSE 455 and 421), TAing, and working in a research lab this quarter.

WHERE DID YOU GROW UP? WHAT WAS YOUR ACADEMIC PATH?
- I grew up in Shanghai, China. Following my middle school graduation, my family and I immigrated to the United States, where I began my high school education in Shoreline, Washington. I plan to pursue further studies in computer engineering by attending graduate school.
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HOBBIES, TALENTS, AND SKILLS?
- Some of my hobbies include playing on the Nintendo Switch, with The Legend of Zelda being my favorite game; doing some random sketching; and watching video game live streams.
HAVE YOU DONE OR EXPERIENCED ANYTHING REMARKABLE OR MEMORABLE?
- I am particularly proud of completing the final project for my autonomous robotics class (CSE 478) last quarter, which involved making our car autonomously drive from one end of the CSE basement hallway to the other. It was so memorable because our group spent literally 20 hours tuning the parameters, and it finally got to work.
WHAT COMMITMENTS WILL BE CONSUMING YOUR CYCLES THIS QUARTER?
- I am enrolled in 3 three STEM classes: CSE 371, CSE 452, and ME 123 (intro to CAD), and TAing for this class. I am also actively seeking research opportunities.
