Hi class!

• Due to the university changes during election week, I’ve decided to push back the exam. It will now be held on Wednesday, November 13th during class time

• Remember that lab 6 is due today, lab 7 is due Friday and the project code submission is due next Monday

• The last day to withdraw from a course is next Friday November 8th. If you have under a 60 in this class, I’d have a conversation with your advisor about whether or not it’d be worth taking this class next semester.

Internship Opportunities Geared Towards First/Second-Year Students

Happy new month y’all!

As recruitment season is well underway, I want to make sure that you all have a list of companies that have internship programs geared towards first and second year students. While I strongly recommend Google as a place to work as a current employee and former intern, I also recommend applying to different places so you can have options! Below is a list of companies that are actively accepting applications. I will add to this list over time, so check back here regularly! Note: All internships I list here accept international students and provide visa sponsorships. They are also all paid $$$!

• Please make sure that you ask regarding assignments and course logistics on Piazza first.
  • If you have a question, please make the post visible to all instructors (not just me) if you’re question contains your code for a particular assignment. That way, you can get your questions answered more quickly
  • If you have a question that does not contain you code for a particular assignment, feel free to make the course public to everyone in the class if you’re comfortable. You’re also encouraged to answer questions that your peers ask on Piazza!
• Check the course website/Piazza regularly as most of your course related questions are answered

Reminder: Please do the Getting to Know You homework by Friday, August 30th.

• If you have not already, please sign up for Piazza and take a good look at the course website. A lot of your questions will be answered there :)

• As we’ll be really diving into content starting this week, please take the time to get to know your TAs (both Howard and Google). There’s multiple office hours happening this week, so don’t be a stranger!
