Getting Help

The first step should always be to see your TA or Prof. Ellenberg during office hours. You can also make use of the following resources:

Classlist
An email Classlist has been created for important announcements about this course. All students enrolled in the course are automatically added to the list. Your @wisc.edu or @students.wisc.edu email address is the one that will be used for the list, as well as for all other official communication from the University, so check your email frequently; if I send something to the list, I will assume everyone in the class has read it. If you are not enrolled in the course, but would like to be added to the list, please email Prof. Ellenberg.
