My office hours are: Tuesdays from 2:30-4:00pm and Thursdays from 4-5pm, and by appointment at Martin 312. Occasional updates to office hours will be reflected here.
To schedule meeting or to ask a question, please email me at sukrit+cs77@swarthmore.edu (the +cs77 will bump your email to the top of my inbox). If it's a general question that might be helpful for everyone, please ask on the class Discord.
