Office Hours

Your graduate lab TA is your first point of contact for this course. You may also attend the office hours of any other TA or the instructor for questions about the course material or the homework. If you have questions about the grading of your homework, please see the TA who graded your assignment during their regular office hours or make an appointment. Please also check the Announcements page for schedule changes.

When you seek help on a programming assignment from a TA or from the instructor during office hours, you must arrive prepared with a list of problems and questions. Students who are not prepared will be turned away.

As a reminder, lab is also a valid time to ask about concepts or homework questions. Just remember to try and finish your lab checkpoints before moving on to discussing the homework assignment! The normal rules about collaboration still apply - you should not share code with other students in the course.

During busy office hours (Wednesday and Thursday office hours tend to be the most crowded) we will be using a "help queue" to ensure that everyone has a fair turn getting help. Students with consistent participation and solid performance on recent in-lecture iClicker exercises will have higher priority for assistance in the help queue.

Lab Schedule

Please attend your assigned lab section and get to know your lab TA, the undergraduate mentors, and the other students in your lab section. Contact your graduate lab TA in advance to re-schedule if you can't make your lab section for a particular week. NOTE: All other excused absences should be handled through the Student Experience office, who will send a written note to the course instructor.

Note: The office hours schedule will be updated the first week of classes.
