If you have questions about the computers in the lab or the lab servers you can login to remotely, including questions about the installed software (Java compiler, Emacs, etc.), hardware problems, and lost passwords, send email to Instructional Computing at inst@eecs or try the User's Guide to EECS Instructional Computing. Your instructors don't know much about these issues, so go straight to the experts.

The best place to ask questions about the class or the material is on the ucb.class.cs61b newsgroup. This link works only if you're on campus and have a newsreader. From on or off campus, you can access it through the web portal http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/webnews with your class account. We (the instructor and TAs) check the newsgroup regularly, and other students will be able to help you too. Other students will also be able to benefit from the answers. You should read this newsgroup regularly whether you post questions to it or not, so that you're not the last to find out about major changes to assignments and midterm dates.

If you don't want to make your question public, you may send email to cs61b@cory.eecs. Your email will be forwarded to the instructor and all the TAs.

For in-person assistance, here are our office hours. Like everything else, expect them to be on Berkeley time (starting 10 minutes after the hour). Most of the TAs spend their office hours in 283 Soda, near the CS 61B lab, or in the lab itself (275 Soda) when they are helping other students. You may visit any TA you find convenient, not just your lab TA.

• Prof. Jonathan Shewchuk, jrs@cory.eecs
  Mondays 2:10-3 pm and Thursdays 5:10-6 pm in 625 Soda, and by appointment.
