I encourage you to send me an email indicating what questions you would like to address and so I can block out time based on your needs. My Office is in McGill hall, RM 127 on the second floor. It is a bit difficult to find, if you email me in advance I will meet you at the main entrance.
Zoom-Based Office Hours
In addition to myself, we will be supported with two teaching assistants this semester.
If you are unable to solve problems on your own or through the course Canvas forum (more to come on that later), you should e-mail a TA for help.
Additionally, they will be available for video meetings and face-to-face meetings to assist with problems. Please set these appointments up individually.
