QUESTIONS?
This is a big class, with only one professor and three teaching assistants. We’re here to help, but please help us help you by asking yourself:
- Can it wait? There will be time for questions during every class. Please ask yours—someone else has the same question.
- Too shy? Come and ask us at the end of class. We’ll hang around if you need us.
- Urgent? Email your TA: Erin Gordon (for last names A-I), Borey Shin (for last names J-N) and Alexandra Thomsen (for last names O-Z).
- Confidential? Email your instructor Jesse Colin Jackson. Please note that it might take up to 72 hours for us to reply. Be succinct!
