Our Principles:
You will code a lot in this course. We firmly believe you need to code yourself to understand the concepts. We also believe in comprehension over completion, so we want you to understand every line of code you write and be able to code it yourself after you graduate from the course. You should not copy the instructor; we want you to try figuring it out yourself and ask us questions if you need help. There will be coding assignments in almost every lecture that will be comprehensive, as in using and building off concepts that we learned in classes prior to ensure that you understand everything in the course. If you ever feel lost or need any assistance outside of the lectures, feel free to come to office hours, where you will get individualized one-on-one help with your assignment.
