CSE Undergrad News

Please remind students about online courses for winter quarter. An email message will be sent to undergraduate students very soon.

Students can take some of the most popular online credit classes as part of their normal tuition load and pay an online fee of $350 per class. These select online courses are offered in a group-start format, which means students can interact with their classmates and complete the course during the quarter. Online courses help meet graduation requirements and provide a flexible option for students. Check out the winter quarter 2012 time schedule. Students register as they would for any other class using MyUW.

We’ve been receiving a lot of questions about CSE 454.  That course is a capstone. Capstones have space pre-assigned every spring.  There is a survey sent out in May and students’ learn which capstone they will get by June.

We have sent out add codes to all students who were on the 454 list from last spring and we are waiting for them to fill the course. At this point, 454 is closed and we do not expect space to open. However, if it does, we will release space starting next week.  If you are interested in overloading the course, please show up the first week as always, just like any other CSE majors’ course.

Over the past couple of months, we’ve hosted a series of events for developers in the Twitter ecosystem. All of those events have been here at Twitter HQ, and consequently those outside of San Francisco have a tough time attending. We’ve received feedback that you’d like to see some of the technical workshops that we’ve been hosting happen in other cities – so we’re making that happen.

There’s a lot going on in the ecosystem and we’d like to take this chance to share the highlights with you – including the latest developments with the platform, areas of demand within the ecosystem that we’re seeing, and technical dives into integration opportunities for developers. We’ll also be holding a Q&A session with members of the platform team, plus time to hang out with each other.

Details:

November 9th from 6pm to ~9pm

We’ll be hosting this at Hotel 1000 which is located at:
1000 First Avenue, Seattle, WA
