TA Work Schedule
The TA work schedule is still tentative and changes to the schedule are likely.
The time a TA is able to spend with an individual student may be limited to 5 minutes. A student may have additional time with a TA after other students have had an opportunity for time with a TA. This policy is intended to give all students equal and fair access to the TAs.
TA Help Policy
If you would like to get help from the TA's, please read these policies to ensure the TAs can help everyone, and give you all the help you need.
Students Seeking TA Help Should First:
- Read the project specifications thoroughly.
- Work for 30 minutes independently in an effort to move forward.
- Be up to date on reading and assignments.
- Attend every class.
What to expect when getting help?
- TAs primarily help students help themselves. That means that they mostly clarify course concepts, clarify project requirements, direct students to resources for self-help, teach new tools (e.g., using the debugger), pass-off projects, or provide a fresh set of eyes on pernicious bugs. They do not design solutions, write code, debug code, provide tests or solutions.
