2 Staff Calendar
Here is a calendar that shows staff times. Please feel free to subscribe to it. It will update as schedules evolve over the semester.
3 How to Contact Us
Please see the Syllabus and Course Policies.
Unless your issue is confidential in some way, please use EdStem, not email, as your first point of contact.
If you have questions about a grade on an assignment, please use the regrade feature of Gradescope. If you are still not satisfied, you can escalate your complaint.
4 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.
