Hi CSE Undergrads!
Hi all,
We are going to be very short-staffed in the advising office from Monday, October 22nd – Monday, October 29th. We will not have drop-in hours during that period. Advising will be by appointment only.
With that in mind, we ask students with non-urgent questions to please hold off on seeing an advisor until Tuesday, October 30th or later. If you need to come in to complete graduation paperwork next week, or have an urgent issue that needs to be addressed immediately, please write in to ugrad-advisor to request an appointment. Quick questions can also be sent to that address to be answered by email.
Thank you! We appreciate your patience over this next week.

TAs are needed to help teach an introductory programming class, CSE 140, in
winter quarter. This is a brand-new class, so you have the exciting
opportunity to be involved in its first regular offering. The class is
taught in Python — a fun, powerful, popular language. The assignments use
real scientific and engineering datasets.
Positions are available during winter quarter when the class is offered,
and also now to prepare the class.
If you are interested, please contact
Michael Ernst <mernst@cs.washington.edu>.
Columbia is taking applications now for their new Dual Master’s program. From the brochure:
The program offers the highest caliber of computer science and
journalism training at Columbia University. Faculty members from
both schools advise students and work together, in close
collaboration to ensure that the courses are complementary. In
addition to taking classes offered at the Journalism and
Engineering schools, students attend a seminar and workshop
designed specifically for the dual-degree program. The seminar
teaches students about the impact of computing on journalism, the
emerging role of citizens in the news process, the influence of
social media, and the changing business models that will support
newsgathering.

We are looking for a student who is proficient with computers to help us with data analysis on a number of projects related to cancer and cognition. Most of our projects involve analyzing data from computer programs. We would like a student knowledgeable in computer programming to help us with this data analysis. Most of our tasks use E-Prime, so knowledge of E-Prime is preferred. In addition, qualified student would have knowledge of computer language and some experience in programming. Psych 209 is preferred, but not required. This is a great opportunity for a psychology student looking to get involved in the computerized aspects of psychology research. E-Prime is widely used in psychological research, so an understanding of this software would be extremely beneficial to the student. In addition, the student will become very knowledgeable about data analysis, especially analysis of data from computerized tasks. PLEASE NOTE: We work out of the Seattle VA and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Therefore, the student would be required to have reliable transportation to both of these campuses.
