Labs

Follow the links under the "Lab,TA, Tutoring" topic at left to see a description of each lab activity.  Remember to check the schedule for the background reading for your quiz each week. 

Lab Location

Lab meetings will be held in the CS Lab lounge at SEL 2254 (see map). Please be sensitive to asking your TA for help if you see her/him in the lab when it is not during office hours for them unless you have setup an appointment with them ahead of time. Office hours will be held in the locations shown in the table below.

See go.uic.edu/csaccount to search for your CS Dept userid, which you will likely need for your first lab.

Graduate TAs & Prof

Undergraduate TAs

Undergraduate TAs are students who have taken this course and have insight and help to offer you. They will be available to help during lab sessions, will help with some aspects of grading, will help monitor Piazza discussions, and will help give tutoring.

They will not hold office hours every week, but will hold office hours in the days preceding an assignment being due, which is historically when there has been the most demand.  These tentative office hours for them are shown below, and will be posted in Piazza in the days preceding an assignment being due.  These special office hours will be held in the middle conference room (of the 3 small conference rooms) in the CS lab, SEL 2260.  If that room is otherwise occupied, please look around for one of the TAs with a sign up identifying them.

Office Hours

Class times, Lab times and Office hours are shown below.  

Graduate TA office hours will be in SEL 4030.  SEL has two main large sections, the West (smaller) section, and the East (larger) section, that includes the CS labs.  The SEL 4030 is in the West (smaller) section, on the North side.  Take the elevator/stairs up and turn right in the corridor and right again at the end.  Room is the first one around the corner.

Undergraduate TA office hours will be in the CS Lounge, in the middle conference room over against the wall.
