CS 305j
Where To Get Help

The purpose of this page is to list the help resources that are available in CS305j.

CS305j is a large class and you, the students, are responsible for a lot, including knowing you need help and seeking out that help.

Here are the resources that are available to you.

• The class web page: The web page contains the syllabus, schedule with slides, and assignments.
• Email the class listserv: If you have a question your classmates can often help you out. The instructor and TA monitor the listserv as well and if you have a question, chances are other people do to.
• Email the instructor: (or the TAs). Feel free to email me questions as well. See the syllabus for the TAs emails.
• Lab Hours: The instructor, teaching assistants, and undergraduate proctor all hold lab hours in the microcomputer lab in PAI 5.38. Come see us for help.
• Tutors: We have more tutors in the programming lab. Rudy Depena will be in the lab Thursdays from 3 - 5 pm.
• Academic Communities Program / Residential Hall Study Groups (ACP): There are tutors in the Jester and Kinsolving dorms to help with the class material. These tutors are not so much for help on assignments, rather they are there to help with the short answer exercise suggested in the book, the Practice It and Javabat problems from the schedule, and to help study for tests. This semesters tutors are:

  Karoly Burgyan and James Groth

  Karoly and James will old tutoring hours in Jester City Limits Sunday through Thursday evenings, 7:30 - 10:30 pm and in the Kinsolving Dining Hall Sunday though Thursday evenings, 8 - 10:30 pm.
   

• TIP tutors. Members of the TIP program see Adam Navarez in PAI 4.28, Tuesdays and Thursday, 5 - 7 pm.
• Tutoring: Students can also get help from the UT Learning Center. They offer appointment tutoring for CS305j. Don't wait for the last minute to try and get help from these tutors. The UT Learning Center does not offer drop in tutoring for CS305j, so you need to be proactive and sign up for a tutor if you even think you may need help.
• Helping yourself. To know whether you need help or not you must do the readings, try to do the suggested exercises from the book (listed on the class schedule) and attempt the Practice It and Javabat problems listed on the class schedule.
