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.
Instructor¶
Ruth Anderson she/her
Hi there! My name is Ruth! I was born and grew up in North Carolina. I have a BS in Mathematical Sciences with a concentration in CS from the University of North Carolina. I came to UW for my PhD. I worked in Programming Languages, Compilers, and Parallel Computing before doing my PhD in Educational Technology & Pen Computing. I taught at the University of Virginia for 5 years before coming back to UW and have been here ever since. I’ve worked a bit in applying Computing to problems in the Developing World but mostly these days my research is in Computer Science Education.
I enjoy running, hiking, backbacking, and generally getting outside. I’d love to chat about your favorite outdoor experiences. In addition to teaching CSE 391, this quarter I am teaching CSE 332 and co-leading General TA Training. Ask me about the CS Education seminar CSE590E.
Teaching Assistants¶
Jun Xing Go he/him
Hi! My (first) name is Jun Xing (two words, it’s weird in Malaysia). I am a junior double majoring in CS and math. I came from Malaysia where it is always summer, so I was delighted to see snow here. I can speak Mandarin and Malay, and now I am learning Japanese. I came to CS aiming for theory research, but I am also exploring.
I am a hardcore rhythm gamer (mainly osu!mania, but arcade ones too) and an avid competitive programmer (join the club!). Outdoors, I enjoy bouldering and hiking. I also really love dragons and cats.
I am very grateful and excited to TA CSE 391! I hope we will all have an amazing learning experience in this class.
