Apr 06 P1 released and Office Hours!
The second programming project of the quarter (P1: Deques) has been released and is due at 11:59pm on Wednesday, April 13! This project represents our first dive into the world of data structures and algorithms, where we will debug, implement, and test double-ended queues. The full project announcement is posted on Ed. You can find the instructions here.
The best way to get help for the projects is through Ed or Office Hours! Please do not hesitate to ask if you’re stuck on something, because chances are somebody else will be too, and now they can be helped by your thread!
Office Hours
Our first full week of office hours are now underway. To join office hours, please use the currently pinned office hours thread on Ed to queue yourselves in line by writing a small description of your question/problem and a TA will assist you shortly. If you are attending a hybrid OH, please post if you are in person or on Zoom as well.
As a note, we are always looking for ways to adjust office hours to better serve students whether that may be hosting additional hybrid/Zoom office hours or shifting office hours time. If there’s something we can better do to accommodate your learning, let us know (preferably on Ed)!
Mar 30 P0 released; Office Hours; Permissions!
The first programming project of the quarter (P0: CSE 143 Review) has been released and is due 11:59pm on Wednesday, April 6! This project is intended to get you up to speed with course infrastructure and refresh your memory of 143 material. You should have received an email from GitLab, saying that an individual repository has been created for you.
Unlike the rest of the projects in this course, P0 is intended to be completed individually*. You can find the instructions here.
The best way to get help for the projects is through Ed! Please do not hesitate to ask if you’re stuck on something, because chances are somebody else will be too, and now they can be helped by your thread!
Preliminary Office Hours now posted!
We now have office hours! Most of them start on Week 2, but some TAs have special P0 Office Hours this week to help you fix any last-minute setup issues. Office Hours tend to be the best way to get face-to-face help with a TA, so do come and say hi!
Missing course tools?
If you’re enrolled in the course but missing access to any of our course tools, fill out the missing permissions form to let us know and we’ll add you as soon as we can.
(Discuss this announcement on Ed)
*As of March 31, we’ve allowed the option to do P0 as a group project. However, we still recommend setting up your project individually, since half of the project is configuring IntelliJ/Java and setting yourself up for P1!
