Talk to your classmates or the ta (if there is one) on the answers. If I remember correctly, the midterm and final were variations of equations that we went over in class. Don’t worry about it too much; there’s going to be 2-3 complex ones that might throw you, just remember the rules.

None of the CatNet instructions have you downloading anything: https://it.ucmerced.edu/wifi_access

Do you mean the library VPN? (https://library.ucmerced.edu/use/technology/vpn) You don't need it on-campus, and when you're off-campus just don't connect to the VPN and internet traffic from your computer won't go through campus servers. (Your internet traffic will still go through Xfinity's servers, assuming that's your cable/ISP company. Clara might want to get a good private VPN, for use either on-campus or off. Personally I use ExpressVPN.)

I didn't take CSE31 since I was a transfer student, but I did take CSE100. Get real comfortable with the notation in this book. I don't have much to say that won't be covered in the syllabus, but my biggest take away for success is to become friends with the top performers in the class and hold yourself to the highest standard of integrity that you can.

If you can organize a study group and work together to solve problems and teach other this will get you very far and was one of my strategies for success. Also, under all circumstances avoid copying code off the internet unless you absolutely must.

If you make copying code off the internet a habit and can't think for yourself when developing code this will haunt you later on. I'm not saying don't use stackoverflow or read other people's repositories, but if you find yourself copying and pasting solutions without understanding what they're doing or why they work, then you are only hurting yourself. I've been reading many stories about students with BS in CS and master's in CS who can't code their way out of a paper bag or who can't solve fizzbuzz despite high GPA. So getting a high GPA or an A doesn't necessarily set you up for success.

All I was planning on bringing was my laptop until checking out the room, and thank you for being able to provide me with more information. Does my laptop also need to be approved by IT? I already have a NordVPN subscription that funnily enough I got because of my high school’s draconian internet filter that would decide that you TRIED to go on too many websites that were blocked or because “bad” words were in search terms and would kill your connection. And are you also saying that I would need approval for say something like a WiFi extender? I will probably be needing one of these because I might be bringing some devices that don’t have WiFi. Also what about Raspberry Pis?
