The MIS Helpdesk for coding is now open.
The MIS Helpdesk for Coding is a resource for MIS students who are new to programming and web development. It is primarily a resource for students who are in MIS2402 and MIS2101.
If an MIS student needs assistance with the programming tasks related to those classes, they are encouraged to stop by and pay the helpdesk a visit!

About the consultants:
The helpdesk consultants are MIS undergraduate students. They can assist with basic questions related to: HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript, and jQuery. They can also help their peers read error messages and understand what to do about them!
Some tips for success:
MIS students who visit the helpdesk are encouraged to ask the consultants questions that are focused on a specific error or task. Broad questions (such as “Can you teach me JavaScript?”) are not appropraite for the helpdesk environment. The consultants may offer direction, advice and/or clarifying remarks, but they are not there to (re)teach material that was already presented in the classroom.
No helpdesk consultation should exceed 20 minutes.
Other kinds of support:
Regarding student laptop problems and/or problems with course-related software: the helpdesk consultants will (of course) offer friendly advice regarding any specific problem. However, their role is not to install or configure software for their fellow students. Helpdesk consultants do not repair or service hardware.
