    Over the duration of the quarter, graduate students may contribute useful tools, scripts, utilities, or other programs and applications that assist the professor in gathering data, metrics, and insight about the students and their course related activities. These tools, like all code developed in this course, must be released under an OSI approved license.
  4. Office Hours
