Code Reviews are a great way to get feedback on your programming assignments and gain insight on how to improve code quality as you continue in your programming journey! You can think of a code review similar to how someone can edit a rough draft of a paper.
A CS Tutor will be reviewing and providing feedback on your code by adding comments just like how you can add comments to a Google Doc!
Want one of tutors to give you feedback on your code? Great! Here’s what you need to do to start a code review with a tutor:
Code Reviews will be conducted on GitHub, a website for software development and management. Visit the GitHub website and click the “Sign Up” button to create your account.

Now that you’ve made your GitHub account, you can join the GitHub Classroom for your ECS class. Your professor should have sent you a link to an assignment created on GitHub classroom on your class Canvas page.
Clicking the GitHub Classroom assignment link will take you to a webpage asking you to Authorize GitHub Classroom.
