Piazza

How do I contact my lecturer or tutor?

Use Piazza. If the question is a private one, then feel free to ask a private question. Do not use private messages to ask general questions; this is discourteous and inefficient use of time. Questions that may be relevant to other students should be asked publicly.

How do I ask a public question on Piazza?

1. Search the Piazza site using the search dialogue at top left. If the question has already been answered, you’re done. If the answer is not quite what you’re looking for, use the “follow up discussions” below the existing question to create a follow up.
2. If the above is not successful, consult this FAQ.
3. If the above is not successful, do a web search.
4. If none of the above were successful, create a new question by pressing the “New Post” button at top right.
   • You should post to “Entire class” unless there is a strong reason to make your question private.
   • You may make your post anonymous, but only do so if you are particularly uncomfortable revealing your identity. Generally, it is antisocial to hide behind the mask of anonymity in a community forum.
