Lab helper hours are in the King 201 lab.
Helpers should be coaches, not crutches. They are intended to help you with clarification, syntax, and debugging questions; they should not, nor be expected to, actually do the work you need to do. They are there to help you figure out how to learn the skills yourself. You should not use them as your personal tutor, asking them to take you step-by-step through the lab.
Before you ask the lab helpers for help, be prepared to answer the following questions from our problem solving tips.
There are no lab helper hours the evenings the labs are due; this is intentional, as we want to strongly encourage you to do the majority of your work prior to the due day. If you are frustrated and stuck, please read our problem solving tips.
