Office Hours

You should use the guideline described below if you have questions regarding class material or assignments.

• Check Piazza as your question may have already been addressed.
• If you are having problems with your code use the debugging guideline.
• Post your question in Piazza.
• See your teaching TA during lab session.
• If you need to see a TA in the TA room, keep in mind that you can see a TA a maximum of three times in a day. You have a maximum of 10 minutes with a TA while others are waiting.
• In order to see a TA:
  1. Upload the office_hours.c file to the submit server using the "OfficeHours" project. Do NOT release test your project.
  2. Once a TA is available in the TA room, sit with the TA and before you address any question release test your "OfficeHours" project with the TA. In addition, set a 10-minutes countdown using http://www.timer-tab.com/
  3. After 10 minutes you can still continue meeting with your TA if there are no students waiting (you do not need to release test). Otherwise, you need to let another student see the TA. If you want to see a TA again (even the same one you may have already talked to) you need to release test the "OfficeHours" project.
  4. After you see a TA, please leave the TA room. If you need an area to work visit the fishbowl.
  5. Keep in mind that even if you have a short/quick question you need to release test the "OfficeHours" project. It is in your best interest to have a list of questions so you can maximize the time with the TA.
  6. You don't need to upload the office_hours.c file every time. Just select the "Edit" option for the "OfficeHours" project in the submit server and select "Submit as new submission". If you select "Submission Details" (or wait a bit) you will see the "Release test this submission" option.
• Keep in mind that due to the number of students in the course help in the TA room is not guaranteed. The sooner you start working on an assignment the better. Attending lab session is highly recommended as we will allocate at least 25 minutes for "In-lab office hours."
