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¶
Hunter Schafer he/him
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 usually spend most of my time hanging out with friends: just enjoying quality time or going out and exploring new restaurants and coffee shops. While living through 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).
Talk with me about your favorite coffee shops or restaurants around Seattle, I’m always looking for new places to check out! Good book, podcast, or game recommendations are great too!
Teaching Assistants¶
Evan Hao he/him
Hi! My name is Evan Hao. I’m currently in my third and last year majoring in CS with a mathematics minor. I lived pretty much my whole life in Arizona, until I came to college! Everything in Seattle is great except for the cold and rainy weather. I plan to graduate with a Bachelors and hopefully get an Education Masters in the future.
Academics aside, my indoor hobbies include video games (mostly League and Valorant), board games, origami (join my origami club!), and most recently reading.
Outdoors, I enjoy bouldering, hiking, swimming, traveling, and trying new food places.
I am absolutely excited to TA for one of my favorite CS classes, and hope you receive the same amazing experience I had! Feel free to check out my website: http://evanhao.com/
