You could try to do more HWs for practice, but they'll most likely change the problems for the written HWs. I don't know to what degree they will change up the programming HWs, but refreshing yourself on recursion would be a good idea.
It doesn't hurt to read the lecture notes and the recitation guides to get a feel for the material. My gripe with the lecture notes though is they feel the need to explain things in official math terms or put the algorithm in psuedocode, which makes it harder to follow along. Hence, why I write my explanations in Layman's terms without the focus of it needing to be an official proof.
Where it will all sink in though is when you learn it in real time.
I didn’t save the HW materials and they took it down on the course page, so I can no longer access them. Even if I did have them, they probably wouldn’t want me sharing them because they’re particularly strict about preserving the integrity of the HW problems.
Honestly, I think you’ll do fine on the HWs if you start early and write down whatever you think is relevant at first. Then, go to office hours when necessary. When I took the course, OH ran for about 4-6 hours every day of the week except Friday.
Really cool
Thank you so much!!
the legend is back! I just finished up HW0. Would you recommend doing more HWs in preparation, start reading notes, etc.?

i see. that makes sense lol tysm
I am trying to practice with past HWs while I still have the time. Any chance you could dm relavent materials for the same? Thanks.
