Hi everyone.
As we wrap up the semester, I wanted to share some updates and changes coming to club meetings.
- Starting next semester, we will be moving our club meetings to Thursday club hours
- New Meeting Structure. This is not finalized but the plan is to implement more structured format
- Weekly Timed Leetcode Sessions (~20min)
- Paper Discussions: Dive into relevant research papers to deepen theoretical knowledge
- Monthly Projects: Each month, we will implement a project based on one of the papers we discuss and push it to Github. This will give us tangible deliverables while strengthening our understanding.
Also, today's meeting was our last of the semester. Thank you all for your participation, and I wish you the best as you finish up your finals and projects.
Best regards,
Seokwoo (Ryan) Chung
