So you need help? Here are some options.

  1. Check the frequently asked questions (FAQs) page
  2. Write to the staff mailing list at cs224n-spr0809-staff@lists.stanford.edu
  3. Post to the class Facebook group
  4. Come see one of the course staff during office hours

Mailing Lists

There are two important mailing lists for this class:

Staff mailing list: cs224n-spr0809-staff@lists.stanford.edu
If you have questions related to any of the material covered in class or the assignments, send them here. The course staff will make it a point to respond with the least delay possible. Common queries would be posted on the FAQ section along with their respective solutions.

Announcements mailing list: cs224n-spr0809-students@lists.stanford.edu
We'll mail any announcements to this list. Enrolled students are automatically subscribed. Others wishing to receive announcements should send an email to majordomo@lists.stanford.edu with message body "subscribe cs224n-spr0809-guests".

Facebook Group

This year we are experimenting with using Facebook as an alternative way to connect with the CAs and your classmates: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=61831433099

  • Someone from the course staff will be monitoring traffic on the group, so that common queries would make their way to the FAQ section. But don't count on instant responses.
  • However, the biggest advantage of posting to the group would be that another student may be able to answer more promptly and with more relevant inputs , as there is a good chance that whatever problem you've encountered has also come up for others.
  • The facebook group should also be a good way to find programming partners.
