Teaching Team

Communication

The primary method of communication between students and instructional staff will be email.

Instructor: Alex Kale - kalea@uchicago.edu

TA: Krisha Mehta - krisha@uchicago.edu

TA: Danni Liu - danni6@uchicago.edu

We will not be relying on EdTech systems like EdStem. We will use Canvas only to link to course content like the course webpage and GitHub repo.

Class sessions

We will hold class Tuesday and Thursday 12:30 PM - 1:50 PM in Ryerson 276.

Office hours

Students seeking help with concepts or coursework should plan to attend office hours. We will hold the following office hours each week unless posted otherwise.

Day of week	Time of day	Person hosting	Where
Monday	2:00 PM - 3:30 PM	Krisha	DSI 213

Office hours begin on September 29 and end on December 5.

Due to conference travel, Alex will be unavailable November 2-7. Because of this, we will use scheduled class time for project check-ins with the TAs on November 4 and 6.

Materials, turn-in, and gradebook

All course materials can be found on the course website, GitHub repo, and Canvas. The course website contains information on policies and schedule, and links to additional resources such as readings. The course GitHub repo contains intructions and code for all coursework, in-class activities, and demos. Canvas is where we will post PDFs of lecture slides and (only for sessions where we have a flipped classroom) pre-recorded lectures.

Student work will be turned in via Gradescope, where students will be able to view grades and feedback on coursework.
