CS Tutors Email Address:
The CS department is now sponsoring help/tutoring sessions for undergraduate courses. Undergrad assistants (UAs) will be available in the computer lab on the third floor of Farris (FEC309). They'll be available on a walk-in basis to talk one-on-one about questions you may have on classes — programming assignments, proofs, projects, language syntax, etc.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Farris is usually locked in the evenings. How do I get in?
A: You can contact the CS department office during normal business hours for a keycard that will let you in the building and the computer lab after hours. A $25 deposit is required. Alternately, you can use a computer (the ESC pod is convenient) and contact the tutor on duty via the AIM username csundergradhelp to come down and let you in.
Q: Are there tutoring hours during Spring Break/University holidays?
A: We don't have any fixed, scheduled hours during university holidays. (After all, your tutors need to take a break sometimes too!) But if you expect to need to meet during a break, please contact us. We *may* be able to set up a special meeting time.
Q: Are there tutoring hours during Final's Week?
A: Yes! There are times during Final's week, but they will be different then the normal times. The Final Hours table will list the hours.
Q: I can't make the tutoring times! But I really need help! Can you help?
A: If the tutoring times are really bad, students can attempt to make an appointment with one of the tutors. The tutors will try to find a good time to help, but they are busy with classes too. In addition, try messaging the AIM username csundergradhelp or the emailing the tutors at .
So, what is an Undergraduate Assistant?
Basically, they're students. Most are nearing the end of their undergrad career and have been through most of the core curriculum classes. They have done well and would like to help other students who might be getting stuck on a particular idea, formula, or algorithm.
They are not TAs and have no ties to any particular classes. As such, they do not have any influence on grades beyond their ability to help the student better complete his or her assignment. It also means that they can not always know exactly what is being covered in a class at any given time. They only offer the knowledge gained from the experience they have.
