CSE 8A: Introduction to Programming 1
Winter 2024
Basic Information
Need 1-on-1 Help?
You can get help by submitting a help ticket on the autograder! Please refer to the Course Calendar for times when our staff is available! Look for "Tutor Hours" for quick programming or debugging questions or "Office Hours" for any conceptual clarifications. All tutor hours will be held at EBU3B B270 (CSE basement) or virtual this quarter. You can seek help either in person at B270 or remotely. If you choose to receive remote assistance, please provide your Zoom link in the autograder ticket. We expect that all students will need help at some point in time, so don't hesitate to reach out. :)
