Office Hours/Contact

send email

Here is a calendar of all the office hours that the course staff offers. If you would like to speak to an instructor and you cannot make it to their office hours, send an email to set up a meeting. If you have a general question and cannot make it to anyone’s office hours, post to Piazza (see below).

There will be online and in-person office hours. The Khoury Office Hour app will be used for online hours. Staff members will have the same office hours every week. Before going to someone’s hours, check where they will be on the calendar below. Should there be a change to someone’s hours, there will be a post on Piazza and the calendar will be updated.

Piazza

Piazza is an on-line forum for class discussions. Anybody can post a question and anybody else can reply.

Do not post grading questions to Piazza. It’s best to email the grader directly or attend office hours for those types of questions.

Before posting, check whether or not your question has already been asked. If it already has been asked and has not yet been answered, provided the question is not more than a day old, it likely will be answered soon. Do not double post.

Posting any parts of a solution to any parts of a homework assignment is considered cheating. You don’t want to do this. Limit your answers to other students to providing clarity when needed and hints when appropriate. This is good practice should you ever want to be a TA :)

Note: anonymity on Piazza is implemented to make you anonymous to students but not to staff members.

When you need help with the lecture material, the lab material, or the problem sets, don’t despair—there are plenty of ways to get help.

A meeting with a TA or instructor is the best to get explanations because you can ask questions in real time and get answers to them.

If you have a question that you prefer to ask in a non-public setting, feel free to post a question to Piazza. You can make your post anonymous to other students.
