    Online Email Helpline: If you need programming help or have other questions, send email to cs1114-help@cs.vt.edu.

    When you do, please follow the guidelines outlined in this Collegiate Times article. You may send code to this email address as well, but read the "How to" below first. In-person Help: You can visit any of us during our scheduled office hours for programming help.

    How To Seek Help We can help you most effectively if you tell us what you've already done to solve the problem yourself. Learning how to diagnose and troubleshoot problems is a crucial skill for any computer scientist, and training you to do so is one of the goals of this course. We rather tell you how to go about solving a problem than solving the problem for you. For this reason, we ask that students seeking help from teaching staff have made a valid effort at solving a programming problem on their own first. Prior to getting help from one of the TAs students should have performed the following tasks:

    Created an design/outline of their problem solution. Attempted to convert their design/outline into readable, properly indented Java code. Documented their program as explained in the course commenting guidelines. Be able to explain their code and describe the part of problem/code with which they need help. Created JUnit test code or other appropriate tests to attempt to determine the problem with their code.

    If you have not done these steps, we may ask you to do them first before helping you.
