Source of truth

The course website is the source of truth for policies, deadlines, and updates.

Where to ask what

  • Slack is for general course questions, peer help, and TA support. I do not monitor Slack continuously.
  • Email is for private or time-sensitive matters.
  • Moodle may be used occasionally for submissions or feedback, but Gradescope is the default for submissions.

Slack expectations

  • Slack is asynchronous, not real-time chat.
  • I do not monitor Slack continuously or outside business hours.
  • Slack DMs are strongly discouraged; use public channels instead.
  • Office hour changes will be posted in the #announcements channel.

Email expectations

  • Email is checked once per business day.
  • You can expect a response within 24–48 business hours.
  • Emails sent outside business hours are treated as arriving the next business day.
  • Emails about CSC230 should use the subject line format CSC230: <brief description>.
  • Emails that do not use the required subject format may receive delayed responses.

Office hour or class cancellations

Notifications of cancelled classes will be sent out via email. If possible, I will also post on slack and put an announcement here. If office hours are cancelled, students may attend any remaining office hours that week or use email to ask brief questions. No student will be penalized for missing office hours due to a cancellation.
