General

I have another class that conflicts with CS109A. Do you allow dual-enrollment?
- No. Dual-enrollment requires instructors to sign a form agreeing to additional hour-for-hour instruction to make up for the time lost due to the conflict and this is just not feasible.
I’m unable to attend lectures in person. Can I take the class asynchronously?
- Lecture attendance is expected. Non-DCE students should only register if they can attend in person.
May I register for the course PASS/FAIL?
- The instructors will approve PASS/FAIL enrollments on the condition that PASS/FAIL students are transparent regarding their enrollment status with any students they collaborate on homework and projects with during the course.
Where should I send my questions?
- Use Ed for anything related to the course content, assignments, and general administrated questions. The course helpline is for private issues (regrades, personal conflicts/issues, travel, etc.).

Auditing

Can I audit this course? What are the rules for auditing?
- Yes, CS109A does accept auditors, but all auditors must agree to abide by the following rules:
  - Auditors must attend class in person. This is a Harvard policy. Auditors who do not confirm their presence with the preceptor during the first week of in-class instruction will lose course access.
  - Auditors are held to the same standard of academic honesty as our registered students. Please do not share homeworks or solutions with anyone. Violations will be reported to the Harvard Administrative Board.
  - Auditors are not permitted to take the course for credit in the future.
  - Auditors should not submit HWs or participate in exams or projects.
  - Auditors should refrain from using any course and TF resources that are designed for our registered students like Ed, FASOnDemand, JupyterHub, and office hours.
  - Auditors must have an active HUID number.
- If you agree to the above, send an email to cs109a2023@gmail.com with your HUID and state that you’ve read the auditing policy and that you agree to abide by these rules.
- NOTE: Due to FAS policy that prevents us from sharing video content, auditors can only be added as "Observers" in Canvas and not as "Guests". Auditors should be informed of University and FAS policies governing access to student and course information.
- NOTE: You can not be added as an auditor while you are listed as a prospective enrollee on Canvas. Please make sure you are not registered for the class before sending your request email.
