Office Hour Guidelines

  • Check the calendar for the TA/PM office hour schedule and location. Office hours may be held online or in person. Wearing a mask is optional during in person office hours.
  • TA Office hours should be used for conceptual and high-level questions.
    • In TA’s Office Hours, it depends on the TA if they are using a blackboard or not. As they are for conceptual and high-level questions, they are open to everyone unless someone specifically asks for a private session.
  • PM Office Hours should be used for programming related questions or moderate conceptual questions.
    • In PM’s Office Hours, when students need to share their code they should request the PM to look in person or use breakout rooms and a shard blackboard.
    • After joining office hours, if you can see a shared/physical blackboard, please leave your NAME and JOIN TIME to join the queue. When joining online, this can be done by using the text button at the top left corner.
    • In online office hourse, a PM’s name will be placed next to the student’s name to indicate who is currently in the breakout room.
  • If there isn’t a blackboard, you can either raise your hand or send a message on the chat
  • If there are more students in the queue, TA/PMs can limit each student to 10 mins. After which you can join the queue again by putting your name at the end of the queue.

Note: These guidelines can be changed at any time. Also any PM or TA has freedom to implement their own system.
