Resources for Students

Both professors and teaching assistants hold regular office hours, and sometimes, the best solution is to sit down with the person teaching the class and talk through your questions about an upcoming assignment.   Use this directory to locate the contact information for your professor or T.A.  Remember: if you are trying to contact a T.A. or a graduate-student lecturer, you will find their contact information under the “students” tab, not the “faculty and staff” tab.
