"I need help with my homework!"

There is probably someone in the IPL today, or maybe Benson and Whitaker have office hours.
Check the message board; your question may have been answered there.
Read the relevant chapters and sections of the textbook, or watch the textbook "online portal" videos if you have access to them.
Look at the in-class lecture examples.
Look at this week's section handout problems and their solutions.
Start early! We get swamped the day assignments are due.
Don't panic. You have late days, and even if you run out, it is only -1 point for each day late.
