Regrade Request Policy

If you feel like the exam criteria have been inaccurately applied to your exam, you may submit a regrade request. Make sure to read the following constraints before submitting a regrade request:

• All regrade requests must be submitted through Gradescope.
• All regrade requests must be submitted by Monday, August 5 at 11:59pm.
• You must submit 1 regrade request for each part of each question that you believe was incorrectly assessed.
• Each regrade request must be accompanied with an exact description of which specific deductions you believe to have been incorrectly made and a short explanation of why you believe the deduction to be incorrect.
• Your score is not guaranteed to increase following a regrade request. In fact, some regrade requests result in a lower overall score, so be judicious.
• We reserve the right to regrade your entire exam if you submit a regrade request.
• We will not be changing the grading criteria. Therefore, do not submit a request if you believe the criteria to be unfair. Only submit a request if you believe the criteria was inaccurately applied to your submission.

We discussed running our programs from the command line for the first time in last Thursday's lecture and will be predominantly running our programs from the command line going forward in this class. If you have any questions about what it means to run Python code from the command line, we highly recommend checking out the guide, linked here and in the "Handouts" tab!

This week's section handout has been posted. The material in this week's section is all incredibly important for Assignment 2, and it is unlikely to all be covered during section this week. Therefore, we highly recommend working through any exercises that you do not get a chance to cover in section. Additionally, a starter PyCharm project has been made available for this week's section handouts. As of Wednesday night, section solutions have also been released. All of these materials can be found under the "Sections" tab of the top navigation bar.

• SCPD office hour times for remote students have been posted. See our earlier announcement for more details.

---

Information regarding SCPD office hour times has now been published on the course website, in the left sidebar. If you are an SCPD or remote student and need help on assignments but are unable to make it to the LaIR or instructor office hours in person, these sessions are meant to act as a way for you to get help from section leaders. To get helped, you should sign up for a free QueueStatus account and sign up in the queue here during the times listed on the course website. Once you sign up in the queue, a section leader will service your request by calling you on Google Hangouts from the course account (cs106apscpd@gmail.com).

---

On account of the July 4th holiday, Sonja's office hours this upcoming week (which typically occur Thursdays 2:30-4:30) will be on Monday, July 1st 2:30-4:30pm in Gates B02. Her OH will go back to the normal Thursday time the following week. Feel free to stop by with any questions you have!

Additionally, the LaIR will be closed on Wednesday (6/3) due to the July 4th holiday.

After you submit each of your assignments on Paperless, you will be directed to a short, anonymous survey where you can give feedback on the most recently submitted assignment. We read all feedback and use it to inform our decisions in the class going forward, so we highly recommend taking the time to fill out these surveys.

---

Section assignments have been released. You can view your section time and section leader by following the "View My Section" link in the "Sections" menu of the topbar. All sections with open spots are now open for late adds as well, which you can access via this link. Please check your section assignment immediately, as sections begin today. Sections will close for late adds and swaps on Sunday, June 30 at 5pm.

To give everyone the opportunity to play around with Karel, we have constructed a blank Karel PyCharm project that is linked in the sidebar. This project is loaded up with a ton of worlds and a blank Karel.py file in which you can write your code. In general, if you want to write Karel code outside of the lecture examples or assignments, we recommend using this project (you can download as many copies as you need). More specifically, you should not try to add new Python files to an existing Karel project, as you will likely run into issues when trying to run those files.
