We expect that all students will need help at some point in this course. If you find yourself needing help, this is not cause for embarrassment: it is completely expected, and our goal is to ensure that you are able to receive the help you need. A good rule of thumb is that if you spend an hour on the assignment without making any progress, seek help! Please be sure to seek help early and often through any (or all!) of the following resources:
-
Student Hours: These are times that are dedicated towards helping students with coursework. If you get stuck on a problem or topic, please
reserve a time to meet with me (either individually or in a group setting) and I will be happy to provide you with help. To schedule a time to meet
with me please use the Calendly links on the homepage. Please review the syllabus for more details on requesting and scheduling student hours.
-
Your Study Group Building a support system of friends with whom you can struggle and work through the challenges you encounter is one of the
best ways to seek help. You will quickly learn how much you can figure out working together!
-
Discord: I have created a discord server that you can use for any questions related to course logistics, material, or assignments.
You may ask questions about material, classwork or homework, and you may ask general questions about how to solve problems. However, please use
discretion; do not post fully reproducible solutions. The invite link for the server is
here.
-
Email: Please send me emails as often as you need! But note that in my class, you are never allowed to apologize for sending an email or asking
for help, and you are never allowed to dismiss your own questions as "dumb".
