Enrollment criteria

All enrollment is by joining the waitlist, which Michael and Armando will go through by the end of finals week to make final decisions, since capacity is very limited. To join the waitlist and ultimately enroll, you must:

Be a registered CS major (EECS or L&S)
Have completed CS(w)169 or CS(w)169A with a B+ or better, or demonstrate comparable knowledge (via 30-minute face-to-face interview with Prof. Fox)

Isn’t CS169L supposed to be 4 units?

It's supposed to be, but the nice folks at COCI have rejected our petition on administrative grounds SIX. TIMES.

So: if you end up enrolled in CS169L, you will also be automagically enrolled in a special section of CS194 for 2 units, and you will get the same letter grade in that course that you get in CS169L. Thus you will still end up with 4 letter-graded units of CS upper division technical credits.

Format and attendance

Class meetings are in person and regular attendance is required to pass. If you have a conflict for one or two specific lectures for whatever reason, let the staff know in advance of that lecture. If you have a recurring conflict, don't enroll. Lectures/meetings will not be on Zoom and will not be recorded since this course format does not lend itself to that.

There is no final exam but there may be short quizzes throughout the course, using PrairieLearn.
Teams of 5 or 6 will be formed by the course staff; we will let you designate at most one other enrolled student you'd like to make sure is on your team. We will not allow self-formed teams or ‘cliques’ larger than 2. We will explain our rationale during the first class meeting, but we will not respond to requests for exceptions since the answer is "no."

Statement on use of course materials

Students may download, modify, and use course materials for their own personal use in any way they wish. Students may not redistribute/repost any provided course materials on any other site, for any reason, with or without being compensated.

If we find you've uploaded our materials to sites whose business model is based substantially on IP theft, such as CourseHero or Chegg, we promise you will come to rue the day you made that decision.
