Office Hours

  • Note: Normal Office Hours will start in Week 2. We will kick off Office Hours in Week 1 with a homework party on Thursday evening! Stay tuned for more info.
  • Location of office hours are indicated on the calendar below. Many OH are in Huang basement; Mary's are in Gates 168 or a convenient nearby conference room.
  • We will have a Homework Party on Thursday evenings from 6-8 PM so that you can get started working on HW with your friends and the CAs! Budget permitting, there will be snacks! The location of HW party each week is listed on the calendar. Most homework parties will take place in Fujitsu Lounge (Gates 403); however, they will be hosted in Bishop Auditorium on 4/20, 4/27, and 5/18.
  • If you have any concerns or problems during the course, feel free to reach out to our student liaison, Rishu. Rishu's Student Liaison office hours will be held by appointment (see the Gcal below for weekly timings). You can sign up for an appointment slot here.
  • Remote office hours will be held at this Zoom link, which is also linked in each remote slot in the calendar below.
