Registering for the Course

This course has a limited enrollment of 30. This is a hard limit, due to the size of the room, and the need for consistent close interaction during the course. As a result, it is possible that there may be more people wanting to do the course than we are able to accommodate. To sign up for this class you must have a signature from the instructor. You cannot sign up for the class in advance.

In the first class, students will be asked to fill out a questionnaire. Based on the answers supplied, the instructor will select 30 students, to be announced before the second class on the class web page. You must attend the first class to submit the questionnaire. Late questionnaire submissions will receive lower priority for class admission. The broad criteria that will be used to select students include:

• Selecting a balanced class, including undergraduate seniors, MS students, and PhD students.
• Selecting students who indicate a strong commitment to the class.
• Selecting students who are willing and able to participate in class.
• Selecting students with a broad preparation in CS courses.
• Selecting students with good grades in relevant courses.
• Selecting students who would benefit the most from the course.
