Office Hours
Come drop-in for one-on-one support in office hours with a member of the COMP110 team. We are open for 40 hours per week. Except for on due dates, the average wait time is less than five minutes.
Office hours is the ideal place to come for one-on-one help with:
- Exercises
- Projects
- Conceptual Questions
- Lecture Review
Office hours appointments for project work are limited to 15 minutes and one specific question per appointment in order to be as fair as possible to all students enrolled. For longer, conceptual help outside of specific projects we encourage coming to office hours for conceptual help on non-deadline days.
In order to serve every student in the course as best we can, we can only work with students in one-on-one office hours once per day. If you anticipate needing significant amounts of help on an assignment, please start many days in advance so you will have multiple opportunities to ask questions as they arise. Realizing you need help more than once in a given day is an indication you would benefit from a stronger conceptual understanding of the material in question and it would be great for you to come work with us!
