aPiazza
Since a few students asked about using Piazza, I wanted to post an explanation of why I’m not willing to use Piazza for any official course interactions here (these are my personal views, which don’t necessarily reflect those of anyone else on the course staff). The reason I’m not willing to use Piazza is their business model is based on surveillance of students and monetizing the data collected through this is ways that may be harmful to students forced to use it.Week 6

Peer Evaluations
Now that we’ve had an opportunity to get to know our cohorts, we’d like to provide a way for you to offer feedback on how your cohort could work more effectively. We have created a peer evaluation form for you to reflect on the ways that you and your cohort-mates contribute to your team dynamic. We ask that you please complete this feedback form by 11:59pm on Wednesdsay Sept 23.Week 4, Resources
Week 4 is now posted - see the Week 4 page for the details.
The Resources page has some links to resources that we think will be useful for cs3102 students, including additional background materials, and other sources that cover concepts in the class.
Submitting Assignments
To submit your write-ups and see your feedback, use this site: Assignment Submissions. This video explains how to use it: zoomcast
In general, you will only need to submit your weekly written problem, and only one member of your cohort needs to submit. Make sure you tell your cohort coach (TA) who is submitting.
