Summary: Enrollment in Spring 2014 Course

This course will be offered again in Spring 2014.  The Spring 2014
course will hopefully improve upon the [original Fall 2013
course](http://rust-class.org), but will largely follow the same
structure and cover much of the same content.

**Meetings** Tuesdays and Thursdays, 12:30pm-1:45pm in <strike>MEC 339</strike> Rice 130.

**Teacher** [David Evans](http://www.cs.virginia.edu/evans)

**Assistant Teachers/Teacher's Assistants** To Be Announced

See the [Syllabus](|filename|./syllabus.md) from Fall 2013 for more
information about the course.  This will be updated and revised some for
Spring 2014, but most of the information will be the same.

# UVa Students

The course has been moved to Rice Hall 130 to accomodate all of the
students who were on the waiting list as of 8 December 2013.  Thanks to
all of the students and administrators whose efforts enabled us to get a
larger room!

If you were not able to register for the class by then, but are
currently on the waiting list for the expanded class, please submit the
form below to establish your priority for the class:

# Open Students

I am exploring options to make a version of the class available to
non-registered students.  At a minimum, the slides, notes, and
assignments, will be posted openly, and everyone will be able to
participate in the on-line course discussion.  I'm not sure yet if it
will be possible to offer more than that, but if there is interest I
will try.

If you are interested in participating in the open version of the class,
please submit the form below:

<!-- the content below has been commented out due to a request from the Department Chairperson. 
The room in which the course is held has a strict limit of 72 spaces, so
there is no way for me to officially allow more students into the course
(unless the course is moved to a larger room or students are permitted
to take the class without having access to the classroom, both of which
seem very unlikely without a huge amount of student pressure on
University administrators).

As of 4 December 2013, there are 61 students enrolled in the class and a
waiting list of 53 students.  I will only be able to take eleven
additional students in the class.  **[Updated 7 December: the course
size has been increased to 115 students, and there are now 113
registered.]**

Without any additional information, I will give priority to students in
the way that seems fairest to me: highest priority to students who have
had the least previous opportunity to take the class, the least previous
opportunity to take classes from CS faculty, and had the most hurdles
(e.g., facing draconian caps on entering the CS major, school enrollment
restrictions on previous classes before declaring the major) to overcome
to enroll in the class.

I will not pay any attention to the arbitrary ordering on the waiting
list.  I will, however, adjust priorities to allow students who either
make a convincing case that they will contribute greatly to the course,
or make a strong case why they would particularly benefit from taking
the course this Spring to enroll in the course.

To increase your enrollment priority, please submit the form below.
There is no set deadline for this, but I will start enrolling students
in the course on a case-by-case basis when I receive submissions, but
will hold on to some spaces in the class until at least January 4.  You
can re-submit the form with better answers later, so it is to your
benefit to submit a preliminary form now, and then hopefully one with
improved answers later.
