Office Hours
Learning programming for the first time often involves asking questions in person, so we're prioritizing creating lots of office hours every week. We'll keep the office hour schedule updated here on Piazza (it may change without an announcement, so please check it often).
We're also sometimes available to schedule meetings outside of office hours. Just drop us an email!
Here are some tips for making the most of office hours:
- Bring your laptop so you can show us your code
- Tell us what you thought your code should do, and explain how it's different than what it is doing
- Debugging is an experimentation process, so please tell us a couple things you tried, and the results
- Expect us to ask you questions! More than just trying to help you solve a particular problem, we're trying to help you think like a programmer. So even if we see the answer, we might ask you questions (that you will eventually learn to ask yourself) to help you discover the solution on your own
