11.4 How to Contact Us

Please subscribe to our course discussion site. Use the code 8041 to join.

Please be careful with your posts. They should not give away solutions. In general, it’s a bad idea to include code or math in a post unless you can be quite sure it’s not revealing a solution (wait for course staff to ask you to do so).

Your posts there are anonymous to other students but not to the course staff.

Any question you post there is private by default, i.e., it will only be seen by course staff (including the professor). Therefore, you can freely ask questions without worrying about violations of course collaboration policy.

Note: This is a new Campuswire site, not the one used for summer placement discussion.

Unless your issue is confidential in some way, please use Campuswire, not email, as your first point of contact.

Please do not use the Direct Messaging feature of Campuswire. This is part of respecting the time of your course staff; please read below.

If you have questions about a grade on an assignment, first come to the hours of the TA who graded you. If you are still not satisfied, you can escalate your complaint.

11.5 What to Not Do

Excluding confidential issues, please do not write to individual course staff unless they have asked you to do so; if you write a course staff member directly, they will ignore your message. All course staff have an existence outside the context of this course, and their time when they aren’t working as a TA is their own. Instead, always follow the instructions above. This will not only get you the next available person on duty, it will also get you quicker responses.

When replying to email, always group-reply (a.k.a., “reply all”) unless you have a good reason not to. Otherwise people lose context, worry that you haven’t responded, etc., etc.

11.6 Staff Emails

Who

  

Address

  

When

All course staff (UTAs, HTAs, professor)

  

cs0190tas@lists.brown.edu

  

By default

HTAs and professor only, no UTAs

  

cs0190headtas@lists.brown.edu

  

If you don't want the UTAs to see your message

Professor only

  

sk

  

If you don't want even the HTAs to see your message

11.7 Want Advice?

If you have a question unrelated to the course and just want one of the staff’s advice, do ask us. We’re friendly and eager to answer questions though, of course, we cannot commit to responding to emails not related to the course in a timely manner.
