Weekly Lab & Office Hours Schedule

IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to COVID-19, all aspects of RPI's Spring 2021 Data Structures course will be conducted online. Please be patient as we adapt our materials and teaching methods to this format.

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.

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 Discussion Forum for announcements of 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.

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 Lecture Participation Polls will have higher priority for assistance in the help queue.


NOTE: The weekly office hour schedule below is tentative. Please check this page and the Discussion Forum for announcements of schedule changes.

All times below are the America/New York timezone.
