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 Ruth 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.

I’m Ryan! I did my undergrad and masters at UW, and am now an assistant teaching professor in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering. My masters work was in the database group with Magda Balazinska and I’ve also worked in the UW eScience Institute.

Originally I got my undergraduate degree and astronomy and physics, and began working on research related to both databases and astronomy before going to grad school. I’m also interested in data management and data science and teach CSE 344, 444, and 180 on those topics!

Hi! My name is Edison Leung. I am currently a sophmore majoring in CS. I have lived my whole life in the Greater Seattle Area and love the spring weather over here. I plan to graduate with a Bachelors and jump right into the workforce and later return to complete my Masters or possible pursue engineering.

My indoor hobbies include hanging out with friends, cooking, and video games (mostly just league). Outdoor, I love running, swimming, hiking, and more recently, exploring the Ave.

I am very excited to be the TA for CSE 391 which was one of the most useful classes I have taken. I hope you learn just as much as me from this class and am excited to get to know you this quarter!
