Let’s start by the who to send it to. If you are looking for help debugging your code, make sure you send it to both:
If you also CC the TA this increases your chances of getting a quick response to your question.
A successful email to the professor, specifcially an email that is looking for help debugging some code should have a few components:
While the Instructor and TAs will do their best to respond to your questions quickly and efficiently, the closer to the deadline that you ask the question, the less likely there will be time for us to answer your question before the deadline. Get started on your assignments early, and be sure to ask questions early and often.
