11/5
- Office hours for tomorrow (11/6 @ 3pm) are cancelled. Sorry for the inconvenience!
10/1
- Midterm 1 re-grades are due 10/8, that is, one week from now. Remember to attach a cover sheet to your midterm detailing the problem number and the issue you have with the score, and make sure you reference the official solutions where possible. You do not need to submit a grading complaint!
9/25
- Midterm 1 is graded! Be sure to check your grade on glookup, as well as look at the solutions (when they go up) in case you would like to have a regrade done. Note: If you request a regrade, I will have to re-check the entire exam, so be sure you've read the solutions thoroughly!
9/24
- My office hours tomorrow, Friday, September 25th, have been cancelled.
9/1
- My office hours have been posted below, I'll be available starting this week!
8/29
- How to submit your homework electronically
- It looks like some servers (namely Cory that I've noticed) won't allow you to use emacs. This is currently being looked into. In the meantime, please SSH into h50.cs.berkeley.edu or solar.cs.berkeley.edu. Or, if you absolutely must use cory, try this command instead (remove the quotes): "/usr/sww/bin/emacs"
- The CSUA is hosting some very useful infosessions on emacs and Unix this coming Monday. I highly recommend you check these out! More info here.
8/28
- Homework 1 is due next Tuesday at noon! Remember, you must make an online submission as well as a paper submission! If you haven't gotten your readers yet, you can find a copy of Homework 1 and Lab 1 attached to the end of your syllabus.
- Your readers are only at the Copy Central on Hearst and Euclid. More info can be found here. Also, don't forget to buy a copy of the text book from the student store as well!
- The guide for getting connected from your personal computer at home has been updated on the main course page. Check it out here! Feel free to ask if you still need more help.

A Little About Me...

I'm a 4th year CS Major. I have a lot of hobbies, many of which are overshadowed by my unholy love of videogames and programming. But mostly videogames. I'm always happy to talk to students, so never feel like you're bothering me (or any of the TA's for that matter). Like Professor Harvey says, we enjoy teaching, so be sure to take advantage of what we have to offer.
