Hi CSE!
ACM is looking for Associate Officers – this is an opportunity not only to develop your leadership skills and get more involved with the school, but also to pad your project portfolio and make new friends. Associate Officers will be helping plan and organize social and technical events and work on projects that directly serve your peers (such as SnackOverflow).
We encourage any motivated applicant who wants to learn or take on a new challenge to apply. No prior experience necessary.

CSE490D: 13321 CSE 490 D SPECIAL TOPICS C W 0230-0420
2 credits, open to all CSE majors
In this seminar we consider the complex relationship between people with disabilities and technology from the lens of designers and engineers. The course primarily addresses the global issue of equal access to public spaces and to information and communications technology (ICT) by persons with disabilities. We examine the ways in which technology can be both assistive and a potential barrier for diverse populations, and in that context we will review a host of devices and solutions created to improve quality of life, function and independence for people with disabilities. Additionally, we will explore the role of technology designers and engineers in designing for equity in a technology-laden society, and therein explore the fundamental connection between critical social theory and participatory design. Students are asked to participate in class discussions about the readings, complete short assignments and present their ideas for technology innovations that embody all-inclusive design. This course will prepare students to pursue lead roles in participatory design teams in the context of Accessibility Capstone and Husky ADAPT VIP.

Hello Allen School Students!
Did you know that the Allen School offers tutoring for the 14X series and 300 level majors-only courses?
Students who sign-up for a study group will meet with 1-4 other undergraduates and a tutor once per week. Tutoring can be a great way to establish effective study habits, explore your courses more in-depth, and meet new people from the Allen School community.
New this quarter: In the past, we have had graduate student tutors lead study groups but new this quarter tutors will be your fellow Allen School students who have already taken the course! It’s important to note that they are not a replacement for a course TA, who will best know what is expected of students in the class. Instead, tutoring provides you with an additional resource that will help you prepare to tackle homework, tests, and projects.
If you would like to sign-up for a study group this quarter, please read the Tutoring Guidelines for Students before submitting the request form on that page.
***Students interested in volunteering to be a tutor should refer to the e-mail I sent earlier today (Volunteer to tutor the….).
Questions? Please e-mail Chloe at cdolese@cs.washington.edu.

Hello Allen School Students!
Happy fall quarter!
We are looking for volunteer tutors for the 14X series and 300-level courses this fall!
WHY TUTOR?
Tutoring is a great way to work on your communication skills, support your fellow undergrads, and get experience on your resume. Additionally, it is a low commitment way to determine if a teaching assistant position in the future is a good fit for you or to keep up with your current tutoring skills. This is a volunteer position but tutors who meet with their group every week during the quarter will get CSE swag!
TUTORING DETAILS
Tutors meet once/week working with a group of 1-4 undergrads, covering CS concepts from a course of your choice. No prior tutoring experience necessary (this is an opportunity for students in the course to get extra help in addition to resources offered by the instructor and teaching assistants).The commitment is one hour/week for one quarter plus a mandatory one hour tutoring training = a total commitment of 10 – 15 hours total.
REQUIREMENTS
Your knowledge of the material (you must have completed and passed the course) and your willingness to help!
To volunteer, please review these guidelines and sign up online by Monday, October 3rd: https://www.cs.washington.edu/students/ugrad/tutoring/tutor
***Do not fill-out this form if you would like to request to be in a study group this quarter. A separate e-mail will go out with information on how to request a tutor.

Here is a quick update on full CSE courses. If you are a current CSE Major and trying to get into a full CSE course, please plan to attend the first day. If you are unable to enroll by this Friday, the instructors will provide an overload form to fill out. We already completed one round of early overloads (getting into full courses) and accommodated 51 students, so hopefully that will help ease the fall angst a bit.
As always let advising know if you have something of concern that has not been addressed.
Sincerely,
CSE Advising

CSE 599:
Counting and Sampling
Instructor: Shayan Oveis Gharan
Time and Place: Wednesdays and Fridays 3:00 — 4:20, GUG 204
In this course we will study several techniques developed in the last 30 years to sample from sophisticated probability distributions of exponential size. Approximately half of the course will focus on techniques based on Markov Chain Monte Carlo techniques. In the second half we will see more modern techniques based on Correlation decay and geometry of Polynomials.
Course evaluation: 2-3 homework and a summary of a paper related to the course topic.
Background expected: Mathematical maturity, Probability, undergraduate algorithm (421)
