Piazza

We will use Piazza for class discussion. The system is highly catered to getting you help fast and efficiently from classmates and the teaching staff. Rather than emailing questions to the teaching staff, students are encouraged to post questions on Piazza.

Signup

You must signup to access the course in Piazza.

Email forwarding

Public announcements will be posted on Piazza. However, there may still be times when the teaching staff wants to contact a single student (or a group of students) personally for matters not suitable for Piazza.

If you don’t read your student email address, please make sure to set up email forwarding in the Student portal and verify that it works. Contact the support if you encounters any problems.
