Piazza 

Good practice for using Piazza

Asking

• Use Piazza to ask questions rather than asking privately. That way everyone will benefit from the answer.
• Check to see if your question has already been asked.
• If you are asking about an exercise from e.g. the textbook, give both the question number and re-state the question in full.
• Say specifically where or why you are stuck. This way people can help you much more effectively – and it will help your understanding too.
• If you don’t know how to get started on a question, say what you have tried so far.
• Be respectful of your lecturers. If you have a complaint, address it directly with the lecturer or via your class reps.

Answering

• Engage with other people’s questions. Trying to explain something helps you understand it better.
• Don’t post complete solutions. Hints or suggestions on how to start are more helpful for everyone’s learning.
• Be respectful of others. There is no such thing as a silly question.
