Discussion materials, including interactive Jupyter notebooks, are linked below.
You may freely reuse discussion materials when working on homeworks.
During the regular discussion times (Fridays at 12:00pm in PSCB 120, 1:00pm in HH 262, 2:00pm in HH 262), the Teaching Assistants will go over discussion materials. You may attend any session, regardless of which discussion you are officially registered for.
While live discussions are not recorded, after they occur, we will release a video review of the discussion materials to the CS177 Yuja channel.
