Contacting Staff


In decreasing order of priority (try steps 1 and 2 first):

  1. Did you check the Syllabus pdf? It has answers to most logistical questions! See the ``Syllabus'' pdf on the main page.
  2. Fastest option (and most preferable): Discussion Forum: Follow the Piazza Link.
  3. Are you sure your question cannot be, or was not, answered on Piazza? Please wait 24-48 hours to receive a response on Piazza! Go back to Step 1 if needed. Only in desperation (or if you have a private question), proceed to Step 3.
  4. Course mailing list: cs-425-staff@mx.uillinois.edu (Use to submit questions and also submit your MPs)
    • For faster response to your e-mail communications, please put [CS425] in the subject line.
    • Please do not email individual staff unless absolutely necessary.
  5. Visit the instructor or TA during office hours (see below).
