CS 70

Find a Partner for Homeworks 1, 2 & 3

Pairing: You Can Choose or We Can Choose

You’ll need to either

  • Find a partner to work with for Homeworks 1–3, or
  • Ask us to assign you a partner.

With the exception of Homework 0 (the one you're doing!), all the coding you do in CS 70 will be with your partner. If you can pair up without our help, you can get started working together slightly sooner.

Only Pair with Someone in Your Section

Because we will typically focus on homework in class, you must partner with somebody in your class section. That said, you’ll definitely need to work on your homework outside of class as well, so make sure that you and your partner have compatible schedules at other times as well.

Let Us Know Your Preferences

By the deadline, please tell us whether you’ve arranged to work with a specific partner, or whether you’d prefer that we assign you one. The pairing board on the course website is where you do both.

If we haven’t heard from you by the deadline, we will assign you a partner (and you will lose some points), so please be sure to let us know before the deadline!

Helpful Hints

  • LHS Cow speaking

    Introduce yourself to folks in class or in lab to look for a partner, and say when you’re available to work outside of class—matching schedules is the part people forget.

  • RHS Cow speaking

    The board also lists everyone else who is looking, so you don't have to do the asking in person if you'd rather not.

  • LHS Cow speaking

    You can change your mind. Marking yourself as looking for a partner, or asking us to assign you one, can both be undone right up until the deadline, so you can start on the next episode and come back to this by Wednesday, September 2 (at 11:59 PM).
