Administrative stuff
Notes and News
- Evening tutoring will be available 3-5 p.m. Sundays and 8-10 p.m.
Sundays through Thursdays in the tutoring channel on the CS team.
- Individual tutors are also available, but we prefer that you
try the evening tutors first.
- I’d love to hear questions from more of you. (Volunteering answers
also works.)
- I don’t tend to read the chat during class, so please don’t put
questions for me there. Raise your hand and ask!
- Also, feel free to use the chat for (clean and respectful) community
building.
- It’s okay, while there may be loud and frequent members of the chat,
all are welcome. And they’re Grinnellians; they should be nice
people.
- When we have a “normal” semester, I have some “pause for breath” days
in the schedule to permit days like yesterday. I find it useful to
talk some things through as a class.
- We model problem-solving and thinking strategies.
- We learn ideas from others.
- We discover that we’re not alone in being confused.
- …
- I don’t feel bad about adding such a day; I hope you found it useful.
- There seem to have been some unexpected changes to the csc151 library.
They’ve affected tomorrow’s reading. I should have them cleaned up in
the next few hours.
- If you don’t feel like you got enough guidance to turn your “M” on
mini-project 1 into an “E”, let me know. (Scheduling a meeting would
be best, but I’m also happy to send more feedback via chat or mail.)
- It looks like at least one of you asked for help from the evening
tutor last night and didn’t get it. You have a free one-day extension.
Let me know your question. (I’m going to discuss how to handle those
situations in the future.)
- Just in case you weren’t sure, all of the code we wrote for yesterday’s
lab should be in the eboard.
