= How to do OH =

Helping students is much simpler if you've prepared:
* Pay attention in staff meeting when the assignments for that week are presented
* Read through the spec and do the assignment yourself before your OH shift
* Review lecture & section notes so you're aware of how different parts of the course tie together. This way you
  can pick a relevant section problem / lecture example and address it in great detail.
* As you're helping a student, help them develop strong debugging skills. Model using different
  debugging techniques such as the debugger or print/alert statements.  Draw
  diagrams of any algorithm and compare it to what the code is actually doing. *Ask questions that allow the
  student to engage with the problem.*
* Most importantly, use your role as a *guide* to help them clarify misconceptions and develop their own debugging
    skills. It's often the case that you can answer their questions with another question - it takes practice, but it
    will get easier over time!
