Getting Help¶
If you have a general question that other students could potentially benefit from, considering posting on Ed. On Ed, you can also set your questions to private or anonymous as you see appropriate.
For logistical questions (such as extenuating circumstances and DRS accomodations), we ask that you post privately on Ed so the whole staff can respond. For sensitive situations, you can also email Hunter directly if you would feel more comfortable.
We are often available at other times by appointment, and we encourage you to schedule 1:1 appointments whenever you want to talk about concepts, grades, internships, or anything else.
You can find Zoom links for CSE 391 office hours using our general Zoom instructions.
Instructor¶
Hi there! 🙋♂️ My name is Hunter! I’ve lived in Seattle for almost my whole life after a brief stint in Alaska, where I was born, and a couple of years in Minnesota. I did my undergrad and masters here at UW in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering.
Funnily enough, I had absolutely no idea what computer science was when I started at UW. I took CSE 142 on a whim and enjoyed it enough to continue on to CSE 143, but not enough to commit to it as a field of study. It wasn’t until I became a teaching assistant for the 14x series did I really find my passion for computer science: teaching computer science. Since then, I’ve shaped my college and post-college career around teaching computer science. Since graduating with my masters, I’ve worked here at the Allen School as a Teaching Professor.
Outside of school and work, I (used to) spend most of my time hanging out with friends: just enjoying quality time or going out and exploring new restaurants and coffee shops. Now, during the inside-times, I’ve tried to make a routine with some of my available free time: I’ve gotten into reading and cooking more regularly, I started practicing yoga, and I even tried my hand at streaming on Twitch (all while drinking questionably unhealthy amounts of coffee).
Teaching Assistants¶
Hello! My name is Colton Jobes. I’m a second year student in UW CSE. Right now I’m spending most of my time with school, and working as a Java instructor over zoom. When I’m not busy with that I’ve recently been spending a lot of my free time playing chess, golfing, hiking, and I’ve finally had the chance to cross some books off of my reading list over break, my favorite being Sapiens. Come visit my office hours!
