SCI Office Hours

Don’t be afraid to use instructor and teaching assistant office hours, along with valuable recitation and lab times, for clarification and help. Bring examples of problems with which you are struggling to office hours. Demonstrate your attempt at solving these problems and ask how you can make any improvements.

Check your syllabi or Canvas course information for your faculty, graduate teaching assistant, and undergraduate teaching assistant (UTA) hours.
