Students Trying to Add

Students trying to add the class by addcode this semester (for any section of CS146, regardless of instructor) should fill out this form. Note, most sections of the class are already full. There was an early morning class (M/W 7:30) that was cancelled due to low enrollment, but if there is enough demand, that section could still run. (I mention this because I know that some Open University students like that section, they can attend before work.)

For my sections, you should also attend one of my sections the first day of classes. I will take attendence of those trying to add. You only need to go to one of my sections, but if you are also interested in sections by the other professors, you should also attend one of their sections.

If you attend my first day of class, and the email address on your request to add is recognized by SJSU, I will temporarily add you to the course. If not, you can't see the homework, so I will post the first assignment below, to let you know what tasks to do, and in what order. If you have access to a SJSU One account, I can give you temporary access to Canvas with your student ID number.

Students Without an SJSU ID

If you have an ID number, I can use it to give you temporary access to the canvas page. Without an ID, I can set it up so that you (and the rest of the world) can see the canvas page, but you won't be able to submit anything. For the first homework, I will post something here so that you can see most of the assignment, but don't worry about submitting anything for now.
