Nelson's Office Hours

Monday and Wednesday from 3:30pm to 5pm. Please do not use the Quuly queue if you are planning on stopping by my office. My office is IRB 2210.

TA Office Hours

TAs will hold office hours in the location specified at CMSC131/133 office hours location. The office hour schedule can be found below. There is a limited set of online office hours (those where the TA's name is highlighted in turquise color). For these hours you will use the same Queue you would use for regular hours. Make sure you provide your Zoom URL when adding yourself to the Quuly queue.

Which TA Can You Visit

You can get assistance from any of the TAs posted on the schedule below. You are not limited to only see your lab/discussion TA.

Quuly

We will use Quuly for students to see a TA during office hours. Information how to register can be found at Quuly Sign up. To request help during office hours, follow the instructions provided at Requesting Help.

You Must Add Your Email Address

Important: In order for you to access the Quuly queue, you need to have an email address in Quuly. You can add/update your email address by using the Quuly “My Account” view.

Enable Notifications

We want to make sure a TA can help you immediately after you are selected from the Quuly queue.  Make sure you have Quuly notifications enabled. There is a separate desktop notification that is issued if one gives Quuly permission to send notifications to your desktop. To enable those in Chrome, one can click the lock icon and make sure notifications are set to "Allow".

When to Join the Quuly Queue

Please only join the Quuly queue during office hours or 5 minutes (no more than 5 minutes) before an office hour period starts, otherwise you will be removed from the queue without receiving assistance.

Time and Tokens Per Student

TAs will spend around 10 minutes per student if other students are waiting. If there is no other student waiting you can spend as much time as needed. There is a limit of four daily visits per student.

Tutoring

The Iribe Initiative for Inclusion & Diversity in Computing offers 1:1 tutoring for CMSC 131, 132, 216, 250, 330, and 351 around specific concepts discussed in class. To learn more and request tutoring, please visit Tutoring. Visiting a tutor does not mean you are having trouble with your course. Many students visit a tutor to get clarification about class concepts, but others visit a tutor to discuss advanced concepts they are interested and that we don't cover in class.
