Getting Help

Help Procedures

Do the following to get help with problems.

  1. Google the problem.
  2. Post to the course issues forum.
    • The advantage of the GitHub issues forum is its advanced system for including formatted code. It sounds minor, but seeing the formatted code helps with problem-solving.
  3. Contact the Teaching Assistant.
    • The TA for this class undetermined as of today.
    • If there is a TA, they will hold regular lab hours in 127 once a week.
    • They will also monitor the GitHub issues forum.
    • If you need to contact them directly, please use email
  4. Get help from Michael Cassens
    • If you have problems or need help that no one can offer, please contact Michael Cassens (me, the one writing all of this).
    • The best way to get a hold of me is to swing by my weekly office hours or set up a Zoom conference call. These are posted (and updated) under my office hours section.
    • If you are a distance student or cannot make one of those times, please email me. (I will get back to you as soon as I can. If you don’t get a message back from me, please feel free to try again (unless it’s the middle of the night – even then I sometimes respond. I do try and sleep sometimes))
