We offer two types of office hours. The first type is open with an open door where you can walk in and out, attend every week, or never—as you see fit. The second type are individual one-on-one office hours that fifteen minutes each, and which you book via the calendly link above. We expect that you limit your use of these to two per term. The booking system only allows one week out so please be considerate of your fellow students. Under genuinely exceptional circumstances, additional visits can be scheduled on demand. (Note that the Zoom links above differ per time slot. Make sure you pick the correct one.)
The same table is at syllabus/overview. For online office hours, links for the sessions will be emailed via compass2g announcement emails.

For Fall 2020, group presentations will likely be recorded Zoom videos. More details will be forthcoming– but the general idea is to have five minutes per team along with five slides per team. Both limits are hard. Teams are expected to have presentation-ready slides in the RStudio Cloud environment (Markdown presentation).
The overall deadline for the group projects will be in around the end of classes / end of term and likely by towards the middle of December.
