Part I - Create a Piazza Account
If you have not used Piazza before for any other classes, here is a
short description. In order to facilitate an open discussion outside
of the classroom, we will be using the online web forum Piazza. Piazza
allows anyone to ask a follow up question and for anyone to contribute
a response. Many times other students will have the same question that
you have or they will have a problem you previously had. This forum is
useful for receiving quick responses and multiple solutions.
When a new question appears, the instructors will allow time for
student responses. You are encouraged to help your fellow students.
The instructors will then mark an existing response as correct or
provide the a hint in the right direction after a brief time as
passed.
It is possible to post anonymous questions or send
private messages to the instructor.
To create an account and
register for the class site, use the following link: https://piazza.com/mines/spring2021/csci448.
