Your work on the homeworks and the labs for this course should be
|
|
completed on your own, following the
|
|
<a href="academic_integrity.php">Collaboration Policy</a>. However,
|
|
you are encouraged to ask lots of questions about the material when
|
|
you get stuck. Please ask your instructor, graduate TAs,
|
|
undergraduate lab programming mentors, and fellow classmates for
|
|
help. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p class=DS_P>
|
|
Don't be shy or worried if you can't always figure things out all
|
|
on your own. <em>Please ask for help.</em> We're happy to give
|
|
you hints, programming tips, and guide you through debugging.

<h2>Submitty Discussion Forum</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p class=DS_P>
|
|
Post your questions about homework and general questions on the
|
|
Submitty <a href="https://submitty.cs.rpi.edu/courses/f23/csci1200/forum">Discussion Forum</a>. The TAs, instructor, and other students will help answer
|
|
your questions. Be sure not to post partial or full solutions to the
|
|
lab or homework problems when asking your questions or answering a
|
|
classmate's question. Posting a line or two of code that is causing a
|
|
compiler syntax error is ok.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class=DS_P>If you registered at least a week before the first day
|
|
of classes, you should be automatically added to Submitty, you will
|
|
use your RPI RCS username & password to log in. Contact the

instructor if you cannot access Submitty.

<h2>Instructor & TA Office Hours</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p class=DS_P>
|
|
A very important resource for help outside of class are the instructor
|
|
and TA office hours. You may attend the office hours of any other TA
|
|
(not just your lab TA) for questions about the course material or the
|
|
homework. If you have questions about the grading of your homework,
|
|
please see the TA who graded your assignment during their regular
|
|
office hours or make an appointment.

|
|
<br> Office hours get very busy as the deadline approaches. Start the
|
|
homework early and take advantage of the less crowded office hours
|
|
early in the week.

Short questions about confidential matters over email are ok. But
|
|
please come see us in office hours for more involved
|
|
questions. <em>Please do not email your homework assignment to the
|
|
instructor or TAs.</em> We can login and view your submitted homework
|
|
files if you encounter a problem at submission time and have a short
|
|
question related to homework submission.
