Code Walkthrough
DSCC 251/451, Spring 2026
When: Week of April 21 — email me to schedule a 30-minute slot
At this point in the semester your attention should be shifting from building infrastructure to running experiments. The code walkthrough is a chance to show me where things stand, get feedback on anything that’s still unclear, and make sure you’re on track for the final stretch.
What to Expect
This is an informal 30-minute meeting, not a presentation. Walk me through your GitHub repository — what each part does, how the pieces fit together, and what the current state of your experiments is. I’ll ask questions as we go.
I’m looking to understand:
- Data pipeline: How are you obtaining, cleaning, and preparing data?
- Model and training setup: What’s implemented, and does it run end-to-end?
- Experiment tracking: How are you recording and comparing results?
- What’s done vs. what’s left: What’s fully working, what’s partially working, and what still needs to be built?
If you’re working in a group, all members should attend and be prepared to speak to any part of the codebase.
How to Schedule
Email me with a few times that work for you during the week of April 21. I’ll confirm a slot by reply.
Ask Questions
Use this meeting to get guidance on anything that’s blocking you or that you’re uncertain about — experimental design, analysis choices, scope, or anything else. The presentations are the week of April 28, so this is the last good opportunity to course-correct before you’re in final-push mode.
