Office Hours
Office Hour Guidelines
- TAs will NOT fix your code or tell you if it is right. That’s your job. TAs’ job is to point you in the right direction.
- BEFORE asking for help:
- Re-read the homework instructions carefully
- Draw diagrams to understand the overall architecture
- Insert
printf() into various places to debug your code (don’t forget to add a \n)
- Run your code with valgrind
valgrind --leak-check=yes ./myexecutable [arguments]
- Search through the past listserv postings
- Read man pages for the functions and commands that you’re using
- When asking for help, make your questions as specific as possible.
- Please be respectful to TAs and to other students. This is particularly applicable right before a deadline or test. Everyone is just as busy as you are.
