Ed

We use Ed for course discussion and announcements. Almost all questions about the course content or the assessments should be posted here since this is frequented by the whole course staff; the main exception would be going onto Discord to queue up for office hours or to discuss with other students.

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.

You may also email the instructor directly for more serious personal circumstances that you do not want to share with the whole course staff.

Canvas

Like many other CSE courses, we are mainly using Canvas as a gradebook and a place to find Zoom recordings. Please refer to the course website for most course information, including assignment specs and due dates.

Gradescope

We use Gradescope for submitting assignments and giving feedback. You will submit all your assignments for the course here: individual written exercises and exams (described below) will be uploaded directly by you, and you will submit programming projects by importing from your GitLab repository. Gradescope is where you will receive your grades and any feedback from course staff.

PollEverywhere

We use PollEverywhere for in-lecture activities, which will be used at various points in the quarter to enhance your learning. The intention of using PollEverywhere is not to take attendance, but rather to give you a chance to check your understanding of the material by applying it immediately in short problems—no part of your grade will require completing PollEverywhere activities to earn credit. To participate in PollEverywhere activities, you may need to first register your UWNetID on the Poll Everywhere website (more information at IT Connect). Then, in lecture, you may vote using either of the following options:
