Office Hour Guidelines

  • Check the calendar for the TA/PM office hour schedule.
  • 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.
  • 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 we will use breakout rooms and a shard blackboard.
    • After joining the section, if you can see a shared blackboard, please leave your NAME and JOIN TIME by using the text button at the top left corner.
    • 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.
