This term we will be using Piazza for online class discussion. Piazza is an online discussion forum service that is specially designed to get you help quickly and efficiently from classmates, TAs, and course instructors. All sections will be using the same forum so we expect to see a lot of activity there. Last year there were over a 1000 questions posted with almost 6000 contributions (answers, follow-up questions, comments etc.). Rather than emailing questions to your instructors, we encourage you to post your questions on Piazza. And be sure to look around before posting new questions as someone might have already asked your question and the answer might be there for you already.
