Here are some additional resources to help you succeed in CS at Harvard.
- Harvard CS Undergraduate Piazza\ A forum run by students and for students. If you are considering concentrating in CS, we highly recommend you sign up.
- Peer Concentration Advisors\ Current CS concentrators that you can meet with and talk about a variety of topics! In addition to reaching out to any of the PCAs, they initiate and run a number of programs for Harvard CS.
- SEAS Advising Info for first-years and sophomores\ Check out this Canvas site for information about advising events and resources for all SEAS concentrations.
- SEAS Undergraduate Research Canvas\ Site for SEAS-wide undergraduate research programming.
- The Missing Semester\ MIT-created content about the tools you need to use to be a computer scientist.
- CS 61 Prep\ Professor Mike Smith created tutorials to help students transition from CS 32 to CS 61 (Python to C++), and these could also be helpful for transitioning from CS 50 to 61. These tutorials live on GitHub at https://github.com/seas-cs32/py2cpp. You can clone the repo into any IDE that connects to GitHub. Please note that the README talks about cloning into Replit, which is possible but the directions are out of date with the current layout of buttons on the Replit site.
- Academic Resource Center\ The Academic Resource Center (ARC) at Harvard University exists to support the academic mission of Harvard College and the GSAS by ensuring every student has full access to the transformative power of a liberal arts and sciences education. Many excellent programs, including Peer Tutoring, where you can be matched up with a peer tutor for a course.
- The Unofficial Guide to Computer Science @ Harvard\ Designed by CS 50, this guide is a diagram showing the CS undergrad courses at Harvard and their prerequisite relationships.
- WiCS Academic Support Guide\ WiCS Advocacy compiled possible academic resources available to support Harvard Computer Science students with the hope of expanding your awareness of when and why one may access different forms of academic support (October 2020).
- HUMIC AI/ML Resources Page\ A resources page for AI/ML on campus, updated by the Harvard Undergraduate Machine Intelligence Community student group (HUMIC) and also containing non-HUMIC events and programs.
- CS Interdisciplinary Paths Unofficial Guide\ The Peer Concentration Advisors have compiled this guide as a resource that contains further advice on combining computer science with other fields, including sample plans of study and specific courses that may be of interest.
- Tentative course plan\ The SEAS 4 year course plan contains the most up to date plan for courses to be offered in the near future. You can filter the “catalog” entry to CS to see only computer science courses.
- Anonymous Feedback\ This is a form for anonymous feedback, for your ideas for CS to consider, for questions for the FAQ, etc.
