Office Hours/Contact

office hours

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 his or her office hours, send email and set up a meeting. Office hours this semester will be a combination of in-person and online, via Microsoft Teams. Double-check the calendar before going to a particular room for a particular office-hours session, in case we have to abruptly shift that session online, or in case the room is rescheduled. “In-person” and “Online” office hours will be marked as such, and the location of each one will be kept up-to-date on this calendar.

When specific office hours are held online, we will be using a new office-hours queuing website, built over the past year by Khoury College students, and available at https://khouryofficehours.com/. You will need to log in to Microsoft Teams (with your Northeastern account) in order to use the site. A short tutorial on how to use the site can be found here. If you cannot get the site to work for you, email the TA or tutor you are trying to reach. They will hopefully get to you quickly.
