Q: Should I complete HW0 (and HW1) if I am waitlisted? Answer: YES, please complete them if you are hoping to ultimately enroll. For HW0, instructions for how to bootstrap it are posted on courseworks, which will be available to everyone at Columbia until the end of the registration period. To find the courseworks page for the course, search for 4113 on Vergil.
Q: I am waitlisted, how can I get in. Answer: If you are really interested in the course and can afford to remain on the waitlist, remain on the list. There’s churn at the beginning of the semester, and we keep enrolling students from the waitlist as room becomes available.
Q: Some other CS classes overlap this one; can I take this one along with one or more of the others? Answer: No.
Q: I am a non-CVN student. Can I take this class without being present on campus? Answer: We are offering the course only in in-person format, with the exception of CVN. Thus, the answer is no. However, if you anticipate only having to skip a couple of lectures, know that we do record and make available the lectures. So you can register in that case. However, the exam, some quizzes, and a subset of OHs will require in-person presence.
Looking forward to working with you this semester!!
