So you need help? Here are some options.

  1. Check the frequently asked questions (FAQs) page
  2. Post to the class newsgroup at su.class.cs224n
  3. Write to the staff mailing list at cs224n-spr0506-staff@lists.stanford.edu
  4. Come see one of the course staff during office hours


Newsgroup

When you have a question, the quickest way to get a response will probably be to post it to the class newsgroup: su.class.cs224n

The course staff will monitor the newsgroup and will respond to questions posted there — but one advantage of posting to the newsgroup is that another student may be able to answer more promptly. There's a good chance that whatever problem you've encountered has also come up for others.

The newsgroup is also a good way to find programming partners.

Here is some help on using newsgroups at Stanford.
