Important note regarding Problem Set #3: As was agreed
upon unanimously in class on Feb. 1st, Problem Set #3 can be
turned in a maximum of 2 days late (i.e., the last day it will be
accepted is in class on Wednesday, Feb. 10th -- and standard late penalties
still apply). This will allow us to
distribute solutions to the problem set on Feb. 10th, in time to
use for studying before the midterm.
The CS109 midterm is Thursday, February 11th from 7pm-9pm. If
you have a conflict with this time, please let Mehran know (via
email) by 5pm Thursday, Feb. 4th. In the email, please
list all the times during the week of Feb. 8-12 that you
would be available to take an alternate midterm. An alternate
midterm time will be set based on accomodating the schedules of
everyone with a conflict.
Shiwei and Jack have swapped their respective Tuesday and
Wednesday office hours this week (i.e., Jack is covering Shiwei's
hours and vice versa). The office hour times remain
the same, but Jack will be covering the Wednesday 12noon-2pm slot
and Shiwei will be covering the Tuesday 7:30pm-9:30pm slot.
Week of January 25th
Mehran's office hours this Wednesday (Jan. 27th) are cancelled
(he's giving a guest lecture in another class at that time).
Apologies for the inconvenience.
Christie Paz has joined the CS109 staff as a new Teaching
Assistant. You can find her contact information and office hours
on the Course Staff page.
Week of January 18th
Friday, January 22nd is the last day that Problem Set #1 will
be accepted since solutions to the problem set will be handed out
in class.
Solutions to Problem Set #1 were handed out after class on
Friday (Jan. 22nd). Only hardcopies of the solution sets are available (since
I have gotten requests from other institutions/instructors to
limit the distribution of solutions to certain problems). If you
didn't get them after class, you can pick up a copy of the
solutions in the handout bins in Gates.
SCPD students will have copies sent to you via the courier.
Graded Problem Set #1's we handed back after class on Friday
(Jan. 22nd). If you did not get yours, you can pick them up in
the handout bins in Gates. There is a file folder at the front of
all the CS109 handouts that contains the graded problem sets.
Note that if you turned in your problem set late, it will
generally be graded a week after you turn it in (i.e. assignments
turned in late are also returned late). SCPD problem sets will be
returned via the SCPD courier.
Handouts from class will be available on the
handouts page. Any hardcopies
remaining after class will be available in the handout bins
on the first floor of the Gates building.
Staff office hours and locations will be posted on
the Course Staff page.
