Sections
When do sections start?
Sections will start the week of September 16 (Week 2). There will be optional, informal sections on Wednesday, Sep 11 within the normal TA office hours. We will announce the precise locations and times on Sep. 9, but there will be one in the early afternoon, one mid-afternoon, and one late afternoon. There will also be a full slate of TA office hours where we will be happy to answer all your questions and help you with pset 1.

How do I know which comfort level to pick
We’ll let you ask to switch comfort levels for a couple of weeks after sections start so you have time to discover which comfort level is right for you.
How do I sign up for section or request a time change?
Complete the section sign-up form by 11:59 PM on Sunday, Sep. 15. Make sure to give your preference for every section time of both comfort levels. Also make sure to give the specific reason for each time conflict, such as the course number of a conflicting course. If you are requesting a time change, make sure your current section is not one of your preferred (it’s fine to make it an “ok” time); our sectioning algorithm will never move you from a preferred time of the correct comfort level to a different preferred time. It will attempt to move you from an “ok” time of the correct comfort level to a preferred time.
After Sep. 15, you have an additional two weeks switch comfort levels: until 11:59pm on Sunday, Sep. 29. To request a switch, e-mail heads@cs50.yale.edu asking to switch comfort levels, and ranking all the times you are available. We will make every effort to get you into a convenient section of the other comfort level.
