Please remember to start creating your PhD personal webpage, the first in the series of class HW. You can host your pages under your unix's account in your public_html directory. I need an url that looks something like: https://userweb.cs.txstate.edu/~your netid.

Week 3   (Posted by Anne Ngu, September 8, 2025)

We will finish off CS Research Processes and ethnics and discuss time and advisor management. Please read the article on On Being a Scientist if you have time.

Please complete your PhD Journey webpage ASAP and move on to the degree plan HW. Be ready to share your degree plan in class if called upon.
