How do I access content not directly linked from the course website?

FAQ
Do I need to attend my specific particular class section?
Yes. Barring unusual circumstances and pre-clearance with your lecture instructor, you should plan to attend your specific and particular lecture section. We...
What if I am absent from class due to Covid exposure or contract tracing!
The same guidelines for missing class for any other reason apply. The same goes for the daily quizzes. We’re in the full in person modality, and so I don’t h...
How should I dispute or disagree with a grade I received?
For homework, please do file a regrade request with the direct issue to address on gradescope, for that particular assignment. You should see this option on ...
May I please have an extension on this assignment?
I can’t give you a personal extension. With as many students as we have and as many graders as we have (often volunteers) the only way to manage that level o...

If you submitted responses for a lecture quiz, the Gradescope tool should show your submission. If those records show something different than what I’ve reco...
This is a theory class. Why are we programming?
A significant amount of the assignments in this course involve programming. Yes, this is a theory class, but this is the theory of a practical application.
I have a timestamp showing the unmodified file! Will you accept my late work?
No. It’s not a question of me believing you or not. I’ve never been able to use timestamps on files. I keep on my laptop hard drive a text file “dated” to th...
Why 10pm instead of midnight?
Some other, earlier courses apparently make homeworks due at 11:59pm—effectively midnight. Why do you not do this?
I turned in the wrong file. May I turn the right one in late?
My apologies, but I can’t do anything that’d be a saving grace for this instance. Please see the general reasons we do not—cannot accept late work. For this ...
