Challenge Quizzes
- Every second week, I will post an optional challenge quiz, using questions from previous examinations. It's good practise!
Frequently Asked Questions
- What can I ask you for help with?
Everything under the sun regarding 61A, except of course any solutions themselves. - How do I ask for an extension on an assignment?
Email me at[email protected]with some into about why. - I wanna change sections!
Okay! Talk to me during discussion about it or email me and we can figure something out. - I'm really struggling with [topic]. What do I do?
Reach out to me or get an appointment onoh.cs61a.org - Help! [Assignment] is due tonight and I don't know what to do!
Go to OH or email me. If I have any time to spare, I'll set up an appointment with you to help as much as I can. Remember that, at the end of the day, it's just a couple points at best. - I have DSP accomodations. How do I get those?
You'll probably automatically get accomodations. If you don't, feel free to email me.
