Office Hours

TA hours will start week 2 (below), but Nick's hours are T/Th after class starting week 1.

TA office hours are at Meyer 2nd floor, look for "CS108 TA Bunny" at the laptop area, and Nick's office hours are in Gates 190 (650 725-4727). Nick is also often in his office much of the day Tue/Thu, although more busy right before lecture -- feel free to call or stop by. It's also great to ask questions or chat about things right after lecture (Nick's office hours are basically then). Extra office hours will be held in the evening at Meyer 2nd floor in the three days before an assignment is due.

Hidden agenda: Watch how the TA proceeds for debugging in office hours. Notice the questions they ask to try to track down a bug: what is the symptom? What does the exception say specfically? What method/line does that correspond to? What is the state of the receiver at that point?
