Announcements
[Past Announcements]
| Date | Category | Announcement |
|---|---|---|
| 10/22 | Projects | Project 2 (Tablut) has been released. |
| 8/28 | Lectures | Because the class is bigger than Wheeler will hold, we do not require lecture attendance. Feel free to use the screencasts and posted slides (linked to from the website) instead. After the first few sessions, enough people will use these resources exclusively that there will be room in Wheeler for all who prefer to attend in person. |
| 6/29 | Misc | The git-bug command (available on the instructional machines and in cs61b-software) will send us a useful bug report that includes all your code and a message about what problem you are having with it. It requires that you commit and push your work (as you should be doing anyway) and that you provide a text file (which you don't have to commit) containing a description of the problem you are seeing. Please use this instead of screenshots, emails of code snippets, etc., which are almost never sufficient for debugging purposes. You can find some additional documentation here.. |
| 8/28 | Admin | Announcements from outside groups will now be kept on Piazza in the outside_postings folder. You can narrow your view to this category using the tab on the folder bar at the top of the Piazza page. |
| 6/29 | Admin |
Tests will be as follows:
|
| 6/29 | Admin | For those of you with conflicts with tests #1 or #2, we will be addressing this issue closer to the time of the exams. Please do not mail us with conflicts at this time, but watch for further announcements. We do not offer accommodation to those with conflicting finals as a result of taking two courses with the same lecture time. |
| 6/29 | Admin | To join the Piazza page for CS 61B, head over to this this link. The access code is 61bfa19. |
| 6/29 | Admin | The Scores tab above will show you what you have submitted and any logs produced by the autograder. |
| 6/29 | Lectures | Lectures are screencast (with audio) and all slides are online. Attendance is not mandatory. In fact, we do not all fit into Wheeler, so I recommend that those of you who are so inclined stay home and watch them. Experience indicates that after the initial week or so, there will be plenty of space in lecture for those who prefer live attendance. |
