CS 343 satisfies one of the systems breadth, tech elective, or project requirements within the Computer Science major. It can also be taken for credit within the CE major.

Note that because of COVID, we have a shortened quarter (9 weeks instead of 10). As a consequence, things might change, and there is at least some material that we will not be covering at all.

Communication

We will use Canvas to report grades, and for access to Zoom and Zoom Recordings, but for nothing else. For critical announcements, we will send email to the addresses that CAESAR maintains.

For discussion, we will use Piazza: CS 343 Piazza Site. Directing your questions to Piazza will likely produce the fastest response, and everyone else in the class will also benefit. Piazza is configured to allow anonymous posting. Note that Piazza is changing their business model, which may have consequences for this class (for example, you might see advertising). Please let us know if you have issues with Piazza.
