Open Office Hours

OOH should be 1 full hour, each week for the quarter.

• Discuss between Faculty Coaches which day/hour will be best for the team and the students to meet weekly for open office hours (where students can drop in and out, with or without questions). Afternoon/evenings usually best for students The day before the first day of classes for the week is always suggested.

• Ask Raghu to create a zoom link for the OOH, with a request that all TAs be co-hosts on the zoom.

• Add this to Zoom link and to email below

• On the Home tab of Canvas, update the section under 'Zoom links'

  • For example: Open office hours Zoom: (Mondays, 5:30pm-6:30pm CST)

  • Add the Zoom link created above.

• Send calendar invite to all Faculty coaches involved.

  • Make sure to add the Zoom link to the invite

• Weekly at 10am on the day of office hours, set up a calendar invite reminder to send out announcement to students: ex EMAIL:
