The Detectives (Staff)
Contact Us
If you have questions, you should post on Campuswire or come to our office hours. As a general rule, use Campuswire rather than email, as that helps us manage communications among the staff. Campuswire allows private posts that will only be seen by the poster and the staff. Of course, if your question is of a personal nature that should only be directed to Doug (Professor Woos) or the HTAs, feel free to email us directly.
The Course Missive contains more detailed guidelines on contacting us.
Emailing cs0111headtas@cs.brown.edu will reach the HTAs and Doug, cs0111tas@cs.brown.edu will reach all of the staff. Please mail the entire TA list only if you don't have access to post on Campuswire.

Bio: Hey everyone! I'm Brantley Leaphart, a computer science and theatre and performing studies concentrator from the rural town of Gilbert, SC (I live in Atlanta now though). I'm the president of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) chapter at Brown, member of MOSAIC+ (a diversity initiative in the computer science department), and a monitor in the Brown Design Workshop. Outside of all of that, I really enjoy tv and film (hmu with some suggestions!), hanging out with friends, and pickup sports. I hope y'all have a great semester and really find a love for cs. I definitely hated the subject a lot at first, so if you ever wanna talk about what preserving through the major can look like, I'm your guy.
