We will use Piazza for: 

• Course announcements

• Answering public student questions

• TAs and the Professor answering private student questions

Writing a question:

• First, search for similar, already-asked questions to see if yours is answered

• Write your questions neatly and tag it with the correct subject e.g. #hw1

• If your question is not of a sensitive nature and can be posted publicly, please post it publicly! It will allow other students to answer it and can help other students with the same questions.

Privately emailing a TA or Professor vs submitting a private question on Slack:

• If your question is very private and you do not want TAs to see it. Then you should directly message the professor on Piazza.

• Otherwise, TAs respond faster and more consistently to Piazza questions than to emails that can get stuck in their busy inboxes.
