Fri Nov 6: pokerbot regional tonight in Menlo Park. Four setup steps before you leave Berkeley.

Fri Nov 6 morning: one action list, two notices. Sequoia’s “Know Before You Go” email (Thu 10:33pm) asks for four things before you arrive: register your team at pokerbot.sequoiacap.com/tournament (sign in with your berkeley.edu address), claim the OpenAI credits, set up the remote computer from the landing page (use Sol for setup to save credits; a Loom video is linked), and reply to confirm. In the same reply, ask for a seat on the end-of-night shuttle to Sather Gate if you want one. Bring a fully charged laptop, a power bank (outlets are limited) and government ID or a photo of it. Help desk opens 4:30pm, check-in and dinner 5–6pm (outside, so bring a light jacket), kickoff 6:00pm sharp. Citadel Securities and OpenAI reps are there from 5pm. No pre-written code; all AI tools allowed. The School Events entry now carries this list, and an alert went to the Schedule app. CS 70 (Spring 2027) stays on the waitlist (Registrar, Thu 10:35pm): the open seats are reserved and you meet none of the reservations, so nothing moves until a seat you qualify for opens; CS 70 was always waitlist-only until Jan 11. A second Canvas token expires Fri Nov 13, 12am (Canvas email, Thu 10:10pm), on top of the “claude mac” token that ends Mon Nov 9. Also read: an Ed digest (Midterm 2 questions only, no hiring posts; Ed reopens Monday) and SLP coaching and Handshake mail (no action). Course sites unchanged (DATA C8 HW 8 Tue Nov 10 10am, Project 2 checkpoint Fri Nov 13; the MATH 54 calendar page still stops at Week 9). Quant pages: nothing new in the Bay Area; Citadel, Citadel Securities and HRT returned 403 (unreadable, not empty). Canvas not checked (script needs approval). Thu Nov 5 evening: one change. R1A Mon Nov 9 is now The Thin Red Line (1998), not Badlands (Austin, bCourses, Thu 12:22pm: “For Monday, ignore the syllabus”). It runs 2h40m, so the Sunday watch block now starts at 7:20pm; he suggests one sitting, but two is fine. Friday’s class watches more of the living dead in class. Also read: the Project 2 partner-form reminder (you already submitted it Wed 2:50pm), Professor Yan’s Prediction-unit post (Project 2 releases this week; checkpoint Fri Nov 13 and full project Fri Nov 20, both already on the calendar; Zoom lecture continues; Ed is private-post only through the weekend; Friday’s guest lecture is by Professor Adhikari), a PHILOS 12A message from Nai-Chung with 36 Assignment 4 practice problems, and the EOP internship re-send (Nov 17 and Nov 18, already calendared). Thu Nov 5 morning: one new deadline, one small change. Berkeley International Office is hiring Student Assistants: apply by Fri Nov 20 (BIO Bulletin, Wed 1:51pm; no time given). Front desk and phone help for international students, peer advising on BIO and immigration processes, records and SEVIS data checks, orientation help. It is a university job, so F-1 on-campus work is fine (20 hrs/week cap across all jobs); hours and pay are not stated. Apply at docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdmagJKjgE53mPbvMfHfVaZONxxXqEPsDkxjfLiSlAaG9-TSw/viewform. On School Events with 7-day and 1-day reminders, and an alert went to the Schedule app. Pokerbot agenda moved later (Sequoia invite update, Wed 10:03pm): check-in and dinner 5–6pm, kickoff 6pm sharp, build 6:30, six rounds from 7:30, final standings 9:00, close 9:15pm; the calendar entry now ends 9:15. Leave Berkeley by about 4pm. Also read: the Project 2 partner form is submitted (Google Forms receipt, Wed 2:50pm), a PHILOS 12A note correcting how the =E rule was explained in section (content only), and an Ed digest (no hiring posts; CS198-075 office hours moved to Fri Nov 6, 10–11am). Course sites unchanged; the BIO CPT banner still says Course Credit CPT is suspended. Canvas not checked (script needs approval); your Canvas token still expires at the end of Mon Nov 9. Tue Nov 3 evening: one new date. MUSIC 198 homework for tonight’s missed session is due Tue Nov 10 (Mahita, PBE Team, 3:03pm, answering your absence email; no time given, so check bCourses; ask them if you need an extension). On Homework & Deadlines. Also: R1A, before Wednesday’s class, watch a 9-minute clip from 28 Days Later and be ready to say which film topic from the past two weeks you would write about (Austin, bCourses, 12:23pm). MATH 54 HW 9 late window is now 48 hours (Ko, bCourses); yours was submitted Oct 31, so nothing to do. MATH 54 DIS 107 midterm course evaluation is open until Sun Nov 15, 11:59pm (optional). The “Action Required” IRS / 1098-T email asks for an SSN or ITIN by Nov 30, but it says international students who are nonresidents for tax purposes can disregard it, which is the normal case for an F-1 student in his first five calendar years; you already forwarded it home. Correction to this afternoon’s opportunity notes: UCDC is for juniors and seniors and Stronach is for graduating seniors, so both came off the list. Tue Nov 3 morning: no new dates, two things to open. Your Canvas access token “claude mac” expires Tue Nov 10 at 12am (Canvas email, Mon 10:20pm), so in practice at the end of Mon Nov 9: mint a new one in bCourses > Account > Settings > Approved Integrations. CS198-075 posted “Project Proposal Submission” on Ed (Abby Li, Mon 8:13pm); the text is behind login, so open it on Ed for the due date. Also new: Alan replaces his Wed 11–12:30 MATH 54 office hours this week with a 9–9:30am review in Wheeler 20, mostly for Lecture 2 (it starts as your 8:10 midterm ends and overlaps R1A, so not calendared). The MATH 54 course calendar lists HW 10 in the Tue Nov 10 cell; your calendar keeps the earlier Mon Nov 9, 11:59pm until Gradescope confirms (a Tue submission still falls in the 24-hour grace). No Two Sigma registration confirmation is in bMail. Course sites otherwise unchanged. Mon Nov 2 evening: one item closed, two new dates. Pokerbot seat confirmed: you replied “Count me in!” at 11:14am and Sequoia answered at 3:27pm. Their calendar invite adds the agenda for Fri Nov 6: check-in and dinner 5–6pm, kickoff 6pm (starts promptly), build 6:30, six rounds from 7:30, final standings 8:45, close 9pm; a parking map is attached to the invite. MATH 54: Yuji’s office hours this week are Tue Nov 3, 2:30–4pm, Evans 762 (east side, 7th floor; bCourses, 1:34pm), the day before Midterm 2; on Class Schedule. Peer Mentorship End of the Program Celebration, Wed Dec 2, 5–6pm, MLK Tilden Room (Nancy Aguilar invite; optional); it overlaps the second hour of your Wed DATA C8 lab if lab still meets that week; on School Events. Still open tonight: no Two Sigma registration confirmation in bMail. Also read: a Data 8 Scholars Ed post on a Midterm 2 review, a DLAB event RSVP and the Week 11 schedule (behind login, so open it on Ed), the SLC Math/Stat email (drop-in Mon–Thu 1–6pm, Fri 1–5pm at the Student Center; Spring 2027 adjunct courses planned for Math 51, 52, 54 and Stat 134, schedule not posted), and a new student-account statement on CalCentral (no amount or due date in the email; check My Finances). Course sites unchanged. Mon Nov 2 morning: two newly confirmed dates. Today’s reviews: MATH 54 with Brian, 12:30–2pm, Evans 797; SLC practice midterm, 3:10–4:30pm, 113 Student Center; DATA C8 GSI review, 7–9pm, UABX100. MATH 54 HW 8 and HW 9 (due 11:59pm tonight) are already submitted. If you joined Cal Job Shadow, favoriting closes today. Monday opportunities check (research week): the Academic Senate now confirms Spring 2027 DeCal facilitator proposals are due Thu Nov 12 (only if you want to run a DeCal; needs UCFTR training and a faculty sponsor), and URAP confirms the Spring 2027 student window: Fri Jan 15 – Mon Jan 25, 2027. Both are on School Events with 7-day and 1-day reminders, and an alert went to the Schedule app. New lead: the Berkeley Math RTG summer REU (last cycle closed Feb 25; 1–2 slots for international students). Dropped: Bain BEL (sophomores only). Course sites unchanged (DATA C8 Midterm 2 Wed Nov 4 8–10pm, Lab 9 Fri Nov 20, HW 10 Wed Nov 25). Still unverified: the Ed post saying the DATA C8 Zoom lecture ends after Midterm 2 (your LEC 002 is on Zoom), and the PHILOS 12A section PDF. Sun Nov 1 evening: one new quant event and one section notice. Two Sigma Quant Talk with Traders at Berkeley, Tue Nov 3, 7–8pm, on campus (Traders at Berkeley email, 3:42pm; the Two Sigma event page confirms the date and time). Quant researchers walk through a case study, and a recruiter covers QR internships and full-time roles; dinner provided. Seats are limited: register by Mon Nov 2 at careers.twosigma.com/events/EventDetail?jobId=14371; the room comes by email once your spot is confirmed. It is the same hour as the MUSIC 198 DeCal, it overlaps the last half hour of the Jane Street talk (6–7:30pm), and it is the night before both Wed Nov 4 midterms, so decide before you register. Both dates are on School Events. PHILOS 12A: Snow posted new section assignments for DIS 107 and 108 (bCourses, 3:19pm, file “section assignments.pdf”); your calendar shows DIS 103, so open the PDF to check whether this touches you. Zakkai stays the official GSI and CalCentral will not change. Pokerbot: no reply to Sequoia found in bMail yet; the seat confirmation is due Mon Nov 2, 11:59pm. Also read: Swapnil’s MATH 54 worksheet solutions (QR via Gram-Schmidt; optional), an Ed digest (no hiring posts; one student says the DATA C8 Zoom lecture ends after Midterm 2, not confirmed by staff). Course sites unchanged (DATA C8 HW 8 Tue Nov 10 10am, Midterm 2 Wed Nov 4 8–10pm). Sat Oct 31 evening: two updates. PHILOS 12A Assignment 4 is out, due Sun Nov 8, 11:59pm (Snow, bCourses, 3:02pm; submit on Gradescope and tag each page). The same post says “practice midterm II” is on bCourses under Files for Midterm 2 on Thu Nov 12, Assignment 3 answer keys come out today, and anyone needing DSP proctoring must email DSP at least a week ahead, so before Thu Nov 5. MATH 54 HW 9 is submitted (Gradescope receipt, Sat 3:54am); Gradescope confirms the due date as Mon Nov 2, 11:59pm (late until Tue Nov 3), so both HW 8 and HW 9 are done. Also read: Ko posted solutions to the Midterm 2 practice questions in bCourses > Modules > Exams, with the practice-exam solutions to follow today. Course sites unchanged (DATA C8 HW 8 Tue Nov 10 10am, Midterm 2 Wed Nov 4 8–10pm). Fri Oct 30 evening: three changes. Accepted to the “No Limit” pokerbot Bay Area regional (Sequoia email, 4:45pm): reply to that email by Mon Nov 2, 11:59pm PT to confirm your seat, or it goes to the waitlist. The regional is Fri Nov 6, 5–9pm, Sequoia HQ, 2800 Sand Hill Rd, Suite 101, Menlo Park (doors 5pm, kickoff 6pm sharp; about an hour from Berkeley). DATA C8 Midterm 2 seat: Latimer 120, seat E12 (data8 email, 5:20pm); be there by 8:00pm, the exam starts 8:10. R1A: the House Made of Dawn essay (Paper 3) moved from Sun Nov 8 to Wed Nov 11, 11:59pm, and Monday’s class wants one moment from Train to Busan in mind. Also new: Brian’s MATH 54 office hours are a Midterm 2 review Mon Nov 2, 12:30–2pm, Evans 797, and the SLC practice-midterm review is Mon Nov 2, 3:10–4:30pm, 113 Student Center (RSVP for the practice exam). Fri Oct 30 morning: one new on-campus job. SERC (Student Environmental Resource Center) is hiring a 3D Printing Reclamation Associate, apply by Sun Nov 29 (Student Opportunity Center newsletter, Thu 2:09pm). Paid and on campus, so F-1 is fine; hours and pay are not in the email, so open the posting on the Student Opportunity Center. On School Events with 7-day and 1-day reminders, and an alert went to the Schedule app. MATH 54 Midterm 2 rules are out (bCourses, Thu 1:48pm): Wed Nov 4 at 8:10am in Wheeler 150 (your DIS 107 is not moved), 45 minutes, no leaving early, covers 4.1–4.6, 5.1–5.5 and 6.1–6.5; one handwritten 3×5 index card (both sides), no calculators, bring your student ID; a missed exam falls under the drop policy. Already on the Exams calendar. Today: DATA C8 Lab 8 due 5pm and the grading-option deadline at 11:59pm. DATA C8 Midterm 2 rooms are still not posted. Thu Oct 29 morning: one item closed. Your Citadel Securities “No Limit” pokerbot application is submitted (Sequoia receipt, Wed 8:56pm). Bay Area decisions roll out, and every applicant hears by Thu Nov 5, 11:59pm; the regional is Fri Nov 6, 6–9pm, if you are accepted. The Nov 3 deadline reminders are off the School Events calendar. Also read: the Registrar’s grading-option email (Fri Oct 30, 11:59pm; check every class’s grading option even if you change nothing, because a discussion swap resets it to letter grade), the SLC MATH 54 review recap and the Peralta welcome emails (no action). Course sites unchanged (DATA C8 Lab 8 Fri 5pm, HW 8 Tue Nov 10 10am, Midterm 2 Wed Nov 4 8–10pm, rooms by Fri). Wed Oct 28 evening: one new on-campus opportunity. EOP is hiring Spring 2027 student interns (EOP email, 10:49am): Intake Internship, due Tue Nov 17 (welcome desk at 119 Student Center and MLK bNorth; forms.gle/t9PJcRRJrYN9Ta8h8) and Marketing & Outreach Internship, due Wed Nov 18 (design and social media, 1 P/NP unit available; tinyurl.com/EOPmoSP27). On campus, so F-1 is fine. Pay is not stated; the paid extension is work-study, which needs federal aid that F-1 students cannot get. Both are on School Events with 7-day and 1-day reminders, and an alert went to the Schedule app. Reminder: the grading-option (P/NP) deadline is this Fri Oct 30, 11:59pm on CalCentral (L&S alert today; already calendared). After that a change needs a Late Change of Schedule petition, and L&S allows only 2 of those in total. Also read: BIO bulletin (CPT for F-1 still not available, incl. US-based Global Internships; clocks go back Sun Nov 2), IEOR 198 has no lecture Fri Oct 30 (Ed, William Xu). DATA C8 unchanged (Lab 8 Fri 5pm, HW 8 Tue Nov 10 10am, Midterm 2 Wed Nov 4 8–10pm, rooms by Fri). Wed Oct 28 morning: one new quant opportunity.

F-1: ask BIO before you accept any cash prize. Both dates are on School Events, and an alert went to the Schedule app. Closed: Ryan Tom replied that the Lab 02 score was his error (wrong email in the attendance system) and he will fix it. Also today: Lucy’s PHILOS 12A office hours are on Zoom (email her for a 15–30 minute slot; section is in person); Nai-Chung sent the W10 quantifier-rules worksheet (Canvas message). Course sites unchanged. Tue Oct 27 morning: one new review session and a few MATH 54 details. DATA C8 GSI review session: Mon Nov 2, 7–9pm, UABX100 (no Zoom; recorded). MATH 54: extra office hours Thu Oct 29, 10:30–12, Evans 743 (10:30–11 fits before PHILOS 12A); HW 9 due Mon Nov 2, 11:59pm; Midterm 2 practice questions and a practice exam are on bCourses > Modules > Exams; Midterm 2 is Wed Nov 4, 8:10am, Wheeler 150. This week: piano makeup tonight 7pm, DATA C8 HW 7 and MATH 54 Quiz 7 Wed, R1A Paper 2 final draft Thu 11:59pm, DATA C8 Lab 8 Fri 5pm. Mon Oct 26 morning: two updates. Cal Job Shadow (winter externship, Jan 4–15) registration closes today (no time given). If you join, the favoriting period runs Oct 26 – Nov 2 and matching runs Nov 2–6, per the Career Engagement timeline. Juniors and seniors get priority, so a first-year match is not guaranteed. The Nov 2 close is now on School Events, and an alert went to the Schedule app. MATH 54 HW 8 is submitted (Gradescope receipt, Sun 8:49pm), and Gradescope gives its due date as Mon Nov 2, 11:59pm, so the calendar entry moved off tonight. The MATH 54 calendar page still cuts off after Week 9, so HW 9’s date is unverified. DATA C8 is unchanged: Lab 8 is due Fri Oct 30 at 5pm and HW 8 is due Tue Nov 10 at 10am (Week 10 post). Monday opportunities check: no new dated jobs, and one new lead (Statistics Group Tutor, rolling). Sat Oct 24 evening: one date moved. bCourses’ weekly notification (Sat 12:41pm) lists “Paper 2 Final Draft” as due Oct 29 at 11:59pm, not Fri Oct 30 as an Oct 19 check had read. The calendar now uses the earlier date (Homework & Deadlines and the Coursework list); open the assignment on bCourses to confirm, and fix the due-date question in your unsent Gmail draft to Austin. PHILOS 12A Assignment 3 is submitted (Gradescope receipt, Sat 8:51am); you can resubmit until Sun 11:59pm, so check every page is tagged. Also read: MATH 54 grade weights on bCourses (Midterms 44%, Quizzes 13%, HW 7%; the final is not listed as its own group yet), DATA C8 discussion catch-up items due Dec 4, and an Ed digest (HW 8 Q&A only, no hiring posts). Fri Oct 23 evening: three updates. R1A: Austin set Monday’s homework (bCourses, 5:49pm): watch Black Christmas (1974, Bob Clark; free with ads on several streaming sites, about $3 to rent ad-free) and post 3–4 sentences to the discussion board before class about one image you found interesting and why (paste the image in if you can). Now its own deadline on Homework & Deadlines (Mon 9:10am) and the Coursework list; the Sun 8–10pm watch block on Readings carries the details. SLC MATH 54 Midterm 2 reviews (Jason Ferguson): Mon Oct 26, 3–4:30pm, 113 Student Center (the meanings of “orthogonal”, 6.1–6.3) and Wed Oct 28, 2:30–4pm, 151 Student Center (Gram-Schmidt, least squares, Ch 4–6 synthesis; ends as your 4pm DATA C8 lab starts), both on Zoom and recorded; RSVP form in the email; on School Events. Closed: Cal Badminton confirmed you are fully cleared (you sent the Space Access Fee receipt), and you declined the Mon Oct 26 Mentee Check-In; Nancy excused you. Also read: PHILOS 12A Assignment 2 grades posted as partial (not all problems graded, so not final), the L&S newsletter (grading-option deadline Fri Oct 30, already calendared; late schedule change Dec 4), a WarnMe advisory, Ed threads (HW 7 Q&A only), and a GitHub notice that “Turnitout – Document Humanizer” got read:user access to your account Fri 4:54am (revoke at github.com/settings/connections if that was not you). Thu Oct 22 evening: three updates. R1A: Austin sent “Paper 2 With Comments” (bCourses Inbox, 2:27pm, file “Andy Essay 2.pdf”). That answers the rough-draft-feedback question in your unsent Gmail draft to him, so edit or delete that draft before sending; the due date (Oct 29 vs Oct 30) is still the open question. PHILOS 12A Assignment 3 (Snow, bCourses, 6:29pm): the Gradescope outline was only just set up, so when you submit, tag each question’s page; if you already submitted, resubmit. Due Sun Oct 25, 11:59pm. Sport Club medical clearance is complete (RecWell, 10:05am; valid all 2026–27) and the $150 Space Access Fee is paid (RecWell receipt, 1:05am), so that open item is closed. Also read: WarnMe advisory (gun brandished near campus, 12:06am), Big Game sold out, SOC newsletter, an Ed digest (DATA C8 Midterm 2 study guide, already calendared). Course sites: DATA C8 HW 7 posted, due Wed Oct 28 10am (already calendared); MATH 54 calendar unchanged. Wed Oct 21 morning: two office-hour moves, both today. MATH 54: Swapnil’s office hours are Wed 10:30–12 this week, not Thursday (bCourses, Tue 10:48pm: “Ignore my previous announcement which was deleted”). That cancels last night’s “Thu 9:30–11” entry; the calendar event moved to today. It overlaps DATA C8 lecture and your 11:10 discussion (Quiz 6), so the only usable slot is 10:30–11 if you watch the Zoom lecture later. PHILOS 12A: Nai-Chung’s office hours today are 11:30am–1:30pm instead of 2–4 (bCourses, Tue 7:42pm); the 12–1:30 half is free and it is the last office hour before Thursday’s predicate-logic quiz. He also sent the W9 worksheet with solutions (Canvas message). Both are on the Class Schedule calendar (36 ok). Also read: your MATH 54 HW 7 Gradescope receipt, a second copy of the DATA C8 Midterm 2 Ed post (already calendared), an EOP workshop Tue Nov 3 4pm (optional), Handshake digests. Tue Oct 20 evening: one clash resolved, one date moved. Playing By Ear cancelled tonight’s class (bCourses, 2:47pm: no facilitators free in midterm season) and says anyone who missed last week’s midterm plays it in class next week, Tue Oct 27, 7pm, Morrison 250. So the Brawlstars tournament no longer clashes (it moved to the Cal Esports Center from 7pm, still starting at 6pm). DATA C8 Midterm 2 details (Ed, Nao Ohashi, 5:05pm): Wed Nov 4, 8–10pm, 110 minutes, through Lecture 26 and Ch 14.6 (Discussions 1–9, Labs 1–8, HW 1–8); rooms and seats come out by Fri Oct 30 evening; Prof Yan review lecture Mon Nov 2; only the provided Python reference sheet. MATH 54 Thursday office hours move to 9:30–11 this week only (bCourses, 9:46am; poster and room not in the email). Also read: a MyChart message waiting in MyUCBerkeleyHealth (open it; content not in the email), your email to Austin about Paper 2 went out at 9:47am (no reply yet), MATH 54 Midterm 1 adjusted scores and PHILOS 12A Discussion 13 graded, a Stifel Handshake invite to two on-campus banking events Tue Oct 27 (not quant; times only in Handshake), and the Panoramic Fire WarnMe alerts (all clear, no campus impact). Tue Oct 20 morning: one date fixed. R1A Paper 2 final draft is due Fri Oct 30, 11:59pm in the bCourses dropbox “Paper 2 Final Draft” (the bCourses assignment, checked last night). The calendar still showed the syllabus date, Sun Oct 18, so it looked past; it is now moved (Homework & Deadlines 61 ok, the known Paper 1 HTTP 400) and back on the Coursework task list. Also read: MATH 54 Midterm 1 scores (Mid1-B Adj, Mid1-C), Quiz 1–2 and participation grades posted on bCourses overnight (no action); a Data 8 Scholars “[ACTION REQUIRED] Scholars Feedback form + Week 9 Schedule” Ed post (behind login, so open it on Ed); the Arts & Humanities newsletter (Cal Job Shadow Oct 26 already calendared; nothing else for you); a BIO scam alert (no action). The Brawlstars room is still TBA. Course sites unchanged (DATA C8: HW 6 Oct 21, Lab 7 Oct 23, Lab 8 Oct 30, Midterm 2 Wed Nov 4 8–10pm, room TBA). Quant pages: Jane Street program cards only (FTTP accepting applications, no deadline); SIG and IMC empty shells; Two Sigma and Optiver nothing local; Citadel 403. Canvas not checked (script needs approval). Mon Oct 19 evening: one clash and one new deadline. Tue Oct 20, 6–8pm: Brawlstars Berkeley Club tournament (room TBA; fallback tables outside the Graduate School of Journalism). You are Team 10 with Collin and Leon, both unregistered, so reply to the BBC email to confirm all three. It overlaps your Playing By Ear midterm makeup, 7:00pm, Morrison 250: ask for Team 10’s matches at 6pm or leave by 6:50pm. New: Cal Job Shadow externship, register by Mon Oct 26 (Jan 4–15 with an alumni or employer host; all undergrads eligible; My Berkeley > Connect > Programs). PHILOS 12A quiz Thu Oct 22 is on predicate logic translations (Snow, bCourses Mon 4:14pm). Mon Oct 19 morning: one deadline today, one cancelled class. Res Life Math Tutor (Spring 2027): the Res Life page still says due Mon Oct 19, 12:00pm (needs an unofficial transcript, resume, cover letter, and the name and email of one reference). No application receipt is in bMail, so it looks unsubmitted; apply at app.smartsheet.com/b/form/96d598fbb8034fc3bfb4dc73624ca3f5. An alert went to the Schedule app. R1A is cancelled today (Austin, bCourses, Sun 10:47pm: he is ill); the novel finishes this week and Wednesday is essay brainstorming. The Class Schedule calendar now skips today (34 ok). MATH 54 Quiz 6 is confirmed for Wed Oct 21 (Ko, bCourses, Mon 6:49am): Homework 7, 15 minutes, no cheat sheet, no calculator or electronics, and only in your own DI 107 (Exams 22 ok). Course sites unchanged (DATA C8: HW 6 Oct 21, Lab 7 Oct 23, Midterm 2 Wed Nov 4 8–10pm, room TBA; MATH 54: HW 7 tonight, Quiz 6 Oct 21). Quant pages: Jane Street program cards only; SIG and IMC empty shells; Two Sigma and Optiver no Bay Area events; Citadel, Citadel Securities and HRT 403 (unreadable, not empty). Monday opportunities check: Big Ideas pre-proposal confirmed for Wed Dec 2, 1pm (already calendared); new watch-list leads only (Optiver FutureFocus US). Sun Oct 18: Austin set Monday’s reading (through p.166) and opened the “Paper 2 Final Draft” dropbox. Sat Oct 17 morning: one new deadline. Peralta Admissions & Records (admissions@peralta.edu, Fri 11:08pm, “Action Required to Continue Your Application”): your CCCApply submission went through (CCC confirmation, same minute), but Peralta will not process it until you verify your identity through the Socure link in that email. The link expires in 120 hours, so about Wed Oct 21, 11pm; have a photo ID ready. If it lapses, ask BCC Admissions & Records (bcc-admissionsrecords@peralta.edu, (510) 981-5000) for a new one. After that: the Peralta Student ID welcome email, then your F-1 concurrent-enrollment email to international@peralta.edu. On the School Events calendar (161 ok, the known Sep 17 DATA C8 review HTTP 400). Also read: two CCC account security codes and the CCC welcome email (no action). Course sites unchanged (DATA C8: HW 6 Oct 21, Lab 7 Oct 23, Midterm 2 Wed Nov 4 8–10pm, room TBA, Project 2 checkpoint Nov 13 and due Nov 20; MATH 54: HW 7 Mon Oct 19, Quiz 6 Oct 21, Quiz 7 Oct 28, Midterm 2 Wed Nov 4).

BIO webinar: Immigration Updates for F/J Students (BIO email, Fri 9:03am): Fri Oct 23, 11am–12pm, Zoom, covering the proposed OPT fee rule, the Duration of Status court case and the CPT court case. It overlaps your 11:10 MATH 54 discussion; it is recorded and sent to everyone who registers, so register now at berkeley.zoom.us/meeting/register/PggJf20JTrSGdnNqE_Hurw. Both are on Google Calendar (Homework & Deadlines and School Events) and the Coursework task list. Also read: SLC MATH 54 Topic Reviews next week, Mon Oct 19, 3–4:30pm (113 Student Center) on 5.4 and Wed Oct 21, 2:30–4pm (151 Student Center) on 5.5, both on Zoom and recorded (optional, not calendared); a CS198-075 office-hours move (past); a campus keycard outage Thu night (resolved); the OURS newsletter (new drop-in peer advising in 156 Dwinelle, Tue 9–10 and 12–1, Wed 9–10, Thu 3–4; no deadlines for you); the voter-registration reminder (not for F-1 students). Wed Oct 14 morning: one reply landed. Mahita at the Playing By Ear DeCal (playbyearucb@gmail.com, Tue 7:12pm) answered your flu email: “You can play your piece next week in class (one other student will be doing the same).” So the midterm moves to Tue Oct 20, 7pm, Morrison 250; the Exams calendar entry was moved (22 ok). Also read: Lucy’s PHILOS 12A office hours are on Zoom this morning by Calendly sign-up (no time given, section in person as usual), your MATH 54 HW 6 Gradescope receipt, the Data 8 Scholars supplemental section yesterday (past), the L&S advising survey and the Campus Commute Survey (optional). Tue Oct 13 evening: two new PHILOS 12A dates and one sick day. You emailed the Playing By Ear DeCal (playbyearucb@gmail.com, 6:52pm) that you tested positive for the flu, will miss tonight’s midterm, and asked for a makeup later this week; no reply yet. Snow’s bCourses announcement (11:05am): Assignment 3 is posted, due Sun Oct 25, 11:59pm; a quiz in lecture Thu Oct 22 (email snowzhang@berkeley.edu ASAP if you cannot take it); you do not need the soundness and completeness proofs but you do need mathematical and structural induction proofs. Both are on Google Calendar (Exams 22 ok; Homework & Deadlines 60 ok and the known R1A Paper 1 HTTP 400) and the Coursework task list. Nancy Aguilar sent a Google Calendar invite: Virtual Mentee Support Check-In, Mon Oct 26, 5–5:30pm (the email text says “Friday”, the invite says Monday; if you cannot go, decline and email her). L&S Transfer Credit Review confirmed your transfer work is still with the Central Evaluation Unit and will not be final until the end of Fall 2026, which matches the plan for the language item. Also read: L&S Advising says Oct 19–Nov 6 is its busy season (book any Spring 2027 advising early), Cameron cancelled his MATH 54 office hours today (past), PHILOS 12A Discussions 10 and 11 graded, Berkeley Math Tournament wants volunteers Nov 14 (optional), a Canvas access token was created today. Sat Oct 10 morning: one thing resolved, three new events. The Peer Mentorship picnic is closed: you replied to Nancy Aguilar (Thu 6:48pm, chess tournament) and declined the bCal invitation (Fri 8:02pm); Nancy answered “Ensure to follow directions and RSVP NO. Good luck in your tournament!” Nothing more to do. Three new events are on the School Events calendar (149 events, 148 ok and the known Sep 17 DATA C8 review HTTP 400): SLC MATH 54 Topic Review Mon Oct 12, 3–4:30pm (113 Student Center and Zoom; coordinates and change of basis for HW 6; it overlaps the 3:30 IEOR seminar), SLC MATH 54 Topic Review Wed Oct 14, 2:30–4pm (151 Student Center and Zoom; eigenvalues and eigenvectors; ends as your DATA C8 lab starts), and Berkeley Career Engagement Fall Open House Tue Oct 13, 2–4pm (Handshake registration; location not stated in the email). Also read: DATA C8 Project 1 and Lab 5 were due Fri 5pm (past), Mohammed cancelled his MATH 54 sections Fri (past), new DATA C8 Ed threads (behind login), the EOP newsletter and the Homecoming safety email (no dates for you). Course sites unchanged (DATA C8: HW 5 Oct 14, HW 6 Oct 21, Midterm 2 Nov 4, rooms TBA; MATH 54: HW 6 Oct 12, Quiz 5 Oct 14, Midterm 2 Nov 4). Thu evening: four new things. Nancy Aguilar emailed “URGENT Peer Mentorship Program” (Thu 3:56pm): she has you down for a sandwich at the picnic but you have not RSVP’d to the bCal invitation “Peer Mentorship Program – Picnic @ Willard Park”; reply Yes or No there as soon as you can (the picnic is Sun Oct 11, 12–4pm). The sandwich form you sent earlier is a different thing from this invitation. MATH 54 Midterm 1 grades are on Gradescope (Ko, bCourses 11:24am): Lecture A mean 24.28 / 30, median 25.5; Lecture B mean 23.12, median 23.5 (max 30 in both); regrade requests close Mon Oct 12, 11:59pm, the same night as HW 6. A second post says Version A Problem 4 loses 1.5 points if the value of b was not justified. DATA C8 Homework 5 is out (Ed, Sarah Zuo, 10:00am): due Wed Oct 14, 10am on Pensive; submit by Tue Oct 13, 10am for 5 points of extra credit. Snow moved next week’s PHILOS 12A office hours to Fri Oct 16, 12:30–2:30pm (room not stated) and says soundness and completeness proofs are optional; the key ideas are mathematical and structural induction, and predicate logic starts next week. All four are on Google Calendar (Homework & Deadlines 59 ok and the known R1A Paper 1 HTTP 400; Class Schedule 32 ok) and the Coursework task list. Also read: Yuji’s MATH 54 office hours ran on Zoom today (past), the Great Berkeley ShakeOut drill is Thu Oct 15 (campus newsletter, optional), SMBC invited first-years to a financial-services recruiting workshop on Handshake (date only inside the message), and the annual copyright reminder (no action). Course sites unchanged (DATA C8: Lab 5 Oct 9, HW 5 Oct 14, HW 6 Oct 21, Midterm 2 Nov 4; MATH 54: HW 6 Oct 12, Quiz 5 Oct 14, Midterm 2 Nov 4; the calendar page shows each MATH 54 date one day later than the dates already confirmed, such as Quiz 4, so those were left alone). Wed evening: one new F-1 item, plus small office-hour changes. BIO emailed at 3:26pm: ICE published a proposed OPT fee rule in the Federal Register today. It is only a proposal; nothing changes now. As written, the university would pay $70,000 for a first OPT application and $30,000 for each later one (STEM OPT included), before BIO can recommend OPT, and it would cover pre-completion OPT too. Public comments close Mon Nov 9, a Final Rule would come after that, and the fee would start at least 60 days later. Nothing for you to file; the date is on the School Events calendar and the details are on the F-1 Work Map. Also today: Ko cancelled his 1–2pm MATH 54 office hours, Xzavier moved his to Zoom 2–3:30pm, and Snow moved PHILOS 12A office hours to 5:30–7:30pm (all already past, not calendared). You sent the Peer Mentorship picnic RSVP (Turkey sandwich) at 9:20am. Jane Street’s Guts++ thank-you email had no new dates. Course sites unchanged. Wed morning: three new things, all DATA C8 or MATH 54. DATA C8 Project 1 has two optional help parties (Ed, SangJun Lee, Tue 9:34pm): tonight Wed Oct 7, 6–8pm in Gateway B1040H (right after your 4–6pm lab) and Thu Oct 8, 6–8pm in Gateway B1010 (the open area under the stairs). The same post says the Project 1 extra-credit deadline is Thu Oct 8 at 5 PM and the full project is still due Fri Oct 9 at 5 PM. MATH 54: Alan’s usual Wed 10–11:30am office hours are on Zoom this week (bCourses, Tue 8:31pm; link berkeley.zoom.us/j/5595760509). All of it is on Google Calendar (Class Schedule 31 ok; Homework & Deadlines 57 ok and the known R1A Paper 1 HTTP 400) and the Coursework task list. Also read: your MATH 54 HW 5 Gradescope receipt, the PHILOS 12A thank-you-note form for Dr. Christensen (no action), and campus newsletters (no dates). Course sites unchanged (DATA C8: Lab 5 Oct 9, HW 5 Oct 14, HW 6 Oct 21; MATH 54: HW 6 Oct 12, Quiz 4 Oct 7, Quiz 5 Oct 14, Midterm 2 Nov 4). Tue evening: one fix and two new things. DATA C8 Project 1 is due Fri Oct 9 at 5:00 PM, not 11pm (data8.org Week 7 announcement: “The entire project is due Friday, October 9 at 5:00 PM.”); the calendar had 11pm and is now fixed, and Lab 5 is also due Fri 5:00pm. Austin gave you a 48-hour extension on R1A Paper 2 (bMail, Tue 8:06am, replying to your Monday night request: “Take an extra 48 hours if you need to”). His reply does not name the deadline or a clock time. The calendar still shows the rough draft on Sun Oct 4 and the final draft on Sun Oct 18, and his Oct 2 note said the submission box is open Monday through Tuesday, so the extension most likely moves that Tuesday deadline to about Thu Oct 8. Check bCourses for the real time; nothing was changed on the calendar. Jane Street Guts++ moved to Gateway, Room 5340 (Jane Street email, Tue 12:38pm; the earlier room was Gateway 1220), tonight 6:30–9pm; it clashes with MUSIC 198 at 7pm. Also read: the MATH 54 GSI Swapnil moved this week’s office hours to Wed Oct 7, 10–11:30am, Evans 789; CS198-075 Lecture 3 is async this week (Ed, Mon 4:09pm); the PHILOS 12A thank-you note for guest lecturer Dr. Christensen needs no action; campus newsletters had no dates. Course sites otherwise unchanged (DATA C8: Lab 5 Oct 9, HW 5 Oct 14, HW 6 Oct 21; MATH 54: HW 6 Oct 12, Quiz 4 Oct 7, Quiz 5 Oct 14, Midterm 2 Nov 4). Sat evening: two new things for Tue Oct 6. PHILOS 12A discussion is cancelled that morning (Snow, bCourses Sat 4:13pm; Monday and Tuesday sections both, lectures unchanged, your Thursday section still meets) and MUSIC 198 Take Home Piece #3 is due at 11:59pm (bCourses digest). MATH 54 participation scores for Sep 23, 25, 28 and Oct 2 were also posted (no action); DATA C8 and MATH 54 course sites are unchanged. Sat morning: one new thing. The Registrar’s Oct 3 email (3:02am) says your Spring 2027 enrollment appointment is now on CalCentral, and the schedule of classes is available from Sun Oct 4 (courses and times can still change). Phase 1 ends Sun Nov 15, 11:59pm; Phase 2 ends Sun Jan 10, 11:59pm. The email does not give your start date or time: log in to CalCentral to read it, and the Oct 26 estimate stays marked unconfirmed until you do. The Cal 1 Card hold must be cleared before then. Once the schedule is up, check that CS 61A, CS 70, MATH 53, STAT C131A, DATA 89 and ENGLISH R1B actually run. The rest of this morning’s read was quiet: MATH 54 Topic Reviews sent a Midterm 1 wrap-up for HW 5, SLC asked Math and Stats students to protect its tutor budget, and UC WarnMe sent two crime alerts (an assault outside I House at 3am and a shooting report on Panoramic Way); no course dates moved. Friday evening: two new things.Austin set Monday’s R1A reading (bCourses, Fri 1:12pm): House Made of Dawn up to “July 25” (p.34 in the paperback), and bring one sentence or short passage that intrigued you or raised a question; nothing to write down. He also posted a sample essay for the paper (Times New Roman, double-spaced, page numbers on every quote, a title that tells a stranger what the paper is about, novel title in italics) and says the submission box is available Monday through Tuesday; he does not say which paper, so the calendar still shows the Paper 2 rough draft on Sun Oct 4, 11:59pm. Check bCourses. DATA C8 Ed post (Anirra Kutty, Fri 11:27am): from Project 1 on, submit to the “Autograder” assignment on Pensive, then check the “Written Work” PDF shows every graph; screenshots or photos of paper work are not accepted. Thursday morning, three things:Austin changed Friday’s R1A reading (bCourses, Wed 5:55pm): read the Prologue and the “July 20” section of House Made of Dawn, about 7 pages, instead of the syllabus’ Rosenberg poem and WWI photographs. He also cancelled his Wed Sep 30 office hours and moved them to Zoom Thu Oct 1 and Fri Oct 2, 11am–2pm (sign-up sheet linked in the announcement; Thursday’s overlaps your PHILOS 12A midterm, so Friday 12–2 is the usable slot). Ko confirmed MATH 54 Quiz 4 for Wed Oct 7 in discussion: 15 minutes, on Homework 4 and 5, no cheat sheet, no calculator or electronics. Snow corrected the PHILOS 12A answer keys (Assignment 1 question 1(d); Assignment 2 questions 3(a) and 3(c)) and posted condensed lecture notes plus the Assignment 2 key on bCourses; the midterm needs only a pen. Also: BIO’s Sep 30 bulletin launched a Pre-Completion OPT web page (needs one academic year in F-1 status, a declared major, and uses up your 12-month OPT allotment; nothing for you yet, see F-1 Work Map); new Ed threads appeared in DATA C8 and MATH 54 (behind login). The CPT banner is unchanged. Tue morning: four new things. DATA C8 Project 1 checkpoint is due Fri Oct 2 at 5:00 PM (data8.org announcement); the calendar had 11pm and is now fixed. Snow added PHILOS 12A office hours today 4:10–6pm on top of Wednesday’s 4:10–6 (bCourses, Mon 5pm; room not stated), and today’s lecture is a midterm review; the topic survey now accepts several topics. Yuji’s MATH 54 office hours are today 5–6:30pm in Evans 789, the evening before Midterm 1. Austin wants a short R1A discussion post before Wednesday’s class: mark up Owen’s “Dulce et Decorum Est” and Brooke’s “The Soldier” (Week 6 Files) and post about 3 sentences on one part, citing the line number. All four are on Google Calendar. Also: the SLC Sep 28 Midterm 1 review recording and notes are on the SLC Math 54 Topic Reviews bCourses site; DATA C8 HW 3 and Lab 4 scores are out, regrade requests close Fri Oct 2 11:59pm; AskLnS auto-replied to your ASU ENG 102 question (5–10 business days). You emailed Austin Monday about a ~101°F fever; if you are still sick, tell Snow before Thursday’s midterm (snowzhang@berkeley.edu). Earlier, Thu Sep 24 morning: three new things. Snow cancelled today’s PHILOS 12A lecture (bCourses, Wed 9:40pm); discussion sections still meet, a video lecture comes this weekend, and soundness and completeness are not on next week’s midterm. The Class Schedule calendar now skips today’s lecture. Ruikang moved the BIO mentor lunch to Impression of Lanzhou (updated invite, Wed 8:30pm; same time, 12:30–2pm); you accepted, and with no lecture you can be on time. L&S Advising’s language alert (Wed 4:17pm) says new students should not file an APR Correction Request in their first semester: transfer work is still under review and posts after fall. So the language item waits for January. If you ever want the proficiency-exam route instead, Part 1 must be done by Fri Oct 9 for a fall sitting. Also: IEOR 198 has no lecture Friday (Ed, William Xu). Wed evening: four new things. Jane Street Guts++ on campus, Tue Oct 6, 6:30–9pm (Traders at Berkeley, 10:43am): it was already on the calendar; new is the interest form due Fri Oct 2, now its own School Events entry. It clashes with the Tue 7pm MUSIC 198 DeCal. The same email says Jane Street’s 2027 internships are live and FTTP, Bridge and INSIGHT are accepting applications (NYC); no deadline is posted, so nothing calendared. Snow moved this week’s PHILOS 12A office hours to Fri Sep 25, 10–12, Philosophy Hall 128, hands out a practice midterm Friday, and repeats that Midterm 1 is Thu Oct 1 (already in Exams). Your DATA C8 Project 1 partner is Selina (Szewing) Chen, confirmed by Ryan Tom; she emailed her number. MUSIC 198 wants the midterm piece selection form “ASAP” (bCourses Assignments, no date). Wed early morning: one new event. Berkeley China Summit 2026 (AI + TikTok Recruiting), Sat Oct 3, 9am–4:15pm, Pauley Ballroom (ACA email, Tue 7:53pm): free registration at luma.com/24irrudp through Fri Sep 25, $15 after. Both the event and the Sep 25 registration deadline are on the School Events calendar (136 ok, the old Sep 17 review still bounces). Data 8 also confirmed no lab today and says Project 1 partner pairings go out later this week. Tue morning: one new deadline. Austin posted the promised Wednesday assignment (bCourses, Mon 11:13pm): before Wednesday’s class, post a few sentences on the bCourses board about an aspect of We Have Always Lived in the Castle you want to explore in Essay 2 and why, found by close reading, not a point already covered in class. In Homework-Deadlines.ics, pushed to Google Calendar (54 ok, the old Paper 1 failure only) and on the Coursework task list. Also overnight: a CS198-075 “GitHub Handle - Username” Ed post from Angel Li (Mon 7:59pm, behind login) probably wants your GitHub username; open it. Data 8 Ed reopens just before Wednesday’s lecture. Mon evening: one schedule change. Data 8 cancelled this Wednesday’s lab (Sep 23–24), all office hours Tue–Fri, and tutoring Sep 21–23 (Nao Ohashi on Ed, 5pm); Ed reopens just before Wednesday’s lecture, and staff answer at data8@berkeley.edu. The Class Schedule calendar now skips the Sep 23 lab and carries a cancelled marker; the BIO immigration webinar Wed 4–5pm no longer clashes. Third MUSIC 198 participation reminder (courseparticipation, 2:50pm): the Academic Integrity checkbox at surveys.berkeley.edu is still open and gates financial aid. MATH 54 office hours moved: Yiping now Tue 3–4pm on Zoom permanently (was 5–6); Jason this week only Tue 12–1, Tue 5–6, Thu 5–6 in the Student Center Atrium; the instructor’s week 4 hours are Tue 10:30–12 Zoom, Wed 1–2 Evans 785, Fri 9–9:50. Quiz 3 is confirmed for Wed Sep 23 in discussion, 15 minutes, from Homework 3, no cheat sheet. PHILOS 12A covers soundness and completeness this week (optional reading HLW ch. 9). Austin says the Paper 1 formatting “looks great”. A CS198-075 “Welcome & Logistics” Ed post from Angel Li (Sun 8:31pm) sits behind login at edstem.org/us/courses/105198; open it. Sun evening: two new things. Austin cancelled Monday’s R1A class (bCourses, 2:06pm): still turn Paper 1 in, keep up with the reading, and expect a short bCourses assignment for Wednesday (instructions Monday). He also replied that a title on Paper 1 is optional this time, required on future essays. Ruikang set the BIO mentorship group lunch: Thu Sep 24, 12:30–2pm, Cafe 3 (Google Calendar invite, attendance optional); Arib and Ivy both said yes, you have not replied yet. PHILOS 12A lecture ends 12:29, so you arrive a few minutes late. Both are on Google Calendar (Class Schedule 23 ok, School Events 134 ok, the old Sep 17 review still bounces). Sun morning: nothing new in bMail or on the course sites. The Google Calendar push works again: Exams (20), Homework & Deadlines (53 of 54) and School Events (133 of 134) are synced and the Coursework task list refreshed (2 added, 13 ticked left alone). Two events still bounce with HTTP 400 and need a look in Google Calendar: “ENGLISH R1A Paper 1 due 11:59pm” (Mon Sep 21) and the past DATA C8 review session (Sep 17). Check the Paper 1 entry is on the Homework & Deadlines calendar; if it is missing, add it by hand. Sat evening: one new deadline. The bCourses weekly digest (7:48pm) lists “Take Home Piece #1, Playing By Ear DeCal (Fa26), due Sep 22 at 7pm” — the piano DeCal’s first graded piece, due at the start of Tuesday’s meeting. Written to Homework-Deadlines.ics; the push failed again on the expired calpush token. The same digest confirms Paper 1 as “due Sep 21 at 11:59pm” on bCourses, so Sunday stays the safe target. Traders at Berkeley’s 4:46pm mail: the quant career fair ran in Spieker Forum until 8pm with Jane Street, Citadel Securities, Optiver, DRW, SIG, HRT, Five Rings, Old Mission and others. Earlier Saturday: one new thing overnight. Morrison Hall access changes (Marcos Saenz, musicops@berkeley.edu, 9:48pm): from Monday the front door is open only Mon–Fri 8am–5pm; key card needed 5–10pm and weekends; nobody in after 10pm; practice rooms 8am–10pm; only the entrance facing Hertz is open. Your MUSIC 198 meeting is Tue 7pm in Morrison 250, so activate your card via the form in that email before Tuesday. Written to School-Events.ics as a Monday reminder. Also overnight: a Data 8 Scholars “Week 5 Announcements” post (Ed, behind login). Friday recap: the seating email from data8@berkeley.edu landed at 9:45am. Genetic Plant Bio Building 100, seat E10; screenshot the email and the chart at seating.eecs.cloud/seats/213022, bring pencils, erasers and your Cal 1 Card, no scratch paper, no own notes, phone fully off; exam starts 8:10pm, Ed goes read-only Mon 5pm. Written to Exams.ics. Paper 1: Austin’s 11:21am bCourses note says upload the doc or pdf under Assignments “by Monday at midnight” (slides on expectations in Week 4 Files, instructions in Week 3 Files), and read Castle through chapter 8 for Monday. The calendar keeps Sunday 11:59pm as your target. Two more SLC MATH 54 reviews from Jason Ferguson for Midterm 1: Mon Sep 21 3–4:30pm (113 Student Center) and Wed Sep 23 2:30–4pm (151 Student Center), both on Zoom and recorded; in School-Events.ics. The Google Calendar push still fails on the expired calpush token: run calpush auth --manual, then push Exams, School Events and Homework & Deadlines. BTI deposit window closed Fri 11:59pm; the invitational is tomorrow 9–5.
