  • Contact:
    • For project-specific questions, use the Forum first. We will read the forum strictly before answering our email. The forum is shared among all CS3214 sections this semester, because all sections will be using the same projects.

    • For project-related questions that you feel you cannot or do not want to post in the forum use cs3214-staff@cs.vt.edu. This alias goes to all TAs and instructors for this semester's offering. By sending it to that alias, you ensure that we all are kept up to date, and that we all have a chance to answer your question. However, we encourage the use of the forum. If we feel a question is appropriate for the forum, and we expect that the vast majority of questions is, we may just ask you to post it there instead of answering it by email.
