CSE 101 -- Introduction to Data Structures and Algorithms

Lecture: Link

Latest Information:

• Dec 17, 2021: As a result of a student requesting a change from letter grade to pass/no-pass, I learned that while letter grade of D is considered passing, you need to have a C or better to earn a P.

• Dec 14, 2021: Grades have been updated. Note that the numeric score for your Total% on canvas is not accurate since it did not drop the lowest program score. I've exported the canvas scores and redid the calculations (with your lowest program scores dropped) on excel and that's what your final letter grade is based on.

• Dec 12, 2021: Grades are NOT ready. Looks like the canvas file that I worked on did not have all the grades and I will have to start over from scratch.

• Dec 11, 2021: Grades are now ready. Here's the distribution of the class' final grade (with lowest program scores dropped and participation bonus added). The bonus is based on your contributions on piazza and input from TA's on your participation in lab sections. The actual scale used is:

  A+ = 100-97.00%		no change
  A  = 96.99-93%		no change
  A- = 92.99-90%		no change
  B+ = 89.99-87% 		no change
  B  = 86.99-82.8%
  B- = 82.99-79.9%
  C+ = 79.99-77%		no change
  C  = 76.99-70%  	no change
  D  = 69.99-60% 		no change
  F  = 59.99-0%		no change
  

  This resulted in:

  grade	count	percentage
  A+	16	11.1
  A	20	13.9
  A-	13	 9
  B+	15	10.4
  B	24	16.7
  B-	18	12.5
  C+	11	 7.6
  C	10	 6.9
  D	 5	 3.5
  F	12	 8.3
  
  Average:	83
  Median:		86
  

  Note: last day to correct canvas grades (except for prog5) was tuesday (12/7). If you think your grade is incorrect, send email showing your pgm/quiz/hwk grades and what you think your total numeric score should be. We don't have graders available after that.

• Oct 27, 2021: Sharing some stats on Quiz 1. Prog1 is still being regraded and is taking longer since quite a few required special handling.

• Oct 16, 2021: Sharing some stats on Quiz 0 and Prog 0.

• Jun 20, 2021: Permission codes will not be available until the 2nd week of Fall quarter. There is no guarantee that you will be able to get one. However, students planning to continue with the course (assuming permission codes/space becomes available) are expected to complete all course requirements starting from the 1st week of the quarter. Permission codes if/when they do become available will be handed out via a my priority queue order, and NOT according to waitlist order.
