You Worked Really Hard To Get Here
Don’t forget it. That’s what it takes. So don’t stop!
How Did the Beginners Do?
Quite well:

Median grade for the most-experienced students: 87
-
Median grade for the least experienced students: 82
Blue v. Orange
-
Blue Team MP Median: 80
-
Orange Team MP Median: 81
So the split deadline didn’t produce a big change in scores. We’re going to leave this as-is.
What Now?
Downstream Courses

~CS 126: …but that’s like a handful of you. So if you can’t take CS 126, please do something to be able to continue programming: CS 196, CS 125 CA, side projects, whatever.

Course Evaluations
We take your feedback very seriously. We want CS 125 to improve every semester.
-
Unfortunately the paper forms are slow and the boxes are small, so…
-
We’re also distributing an online survey today that mimics the ICES forms.
-
Please complete it and the papers forms! That way we can get your feedback right away and at more length.
-
Also don’t miss the top two boxes on the form—they are squished together for some reason.
