Office Hours and Staff

Office Hours

Location of office hours are indicated on the calendar below. In general, office hours are in Huang basement, except for Homework Parties (Location TBA) and Mary's (Gates 468).

Please sign up for office hours on QueueStatus. For SCPD students, please use this queue instead (please see the SCPD section here for more details). Students at office hours who are in the queue will be served before students who are not in the queue. You may add your name to the queue at most once every two hours. But after the TA is done serving all of the students who are in the queue, they will serve you even if you are not in the queue.

Homework Parties: we'll be hosting homework parties (think of them as more casual group office hours) every Thursday from 7-10pm in Gates 100. You'll be able to start on the week's assignment with a bunch of other students. While we won't have official queues, several CAs will also be roaming the room to clarify problem statements, go over some examples, or answer high level questions. See the calendar below for specific times and locations.
