REPL_logo

A twist on the use of **REPL**, which stands for _read–eval–print loop_ in computer programming. This repository aims to become a central place to share resources that other learners have found useful, especially in the context of studying a [BSc Computer Science offered by Goldsmiths, University of London](https://london.ac.uk/courses/computer-science) :school:.

## How to ask for help

Reaching out to tutors and SRMs

Despite being ~100% remote, this degree is equipped with a team of tutors and SRMs (Student Relationship Managers) that can help you find what you need.

For module-specific inquiries, you can reach out to your tutors in the appropriate discussion forums on Coursera. Access any module you are enrolled in from the home page of this degree on Coursera.

For non-academic questions, you can write in the Reach out forum on Coursera.

For private matters and other types of inquiries, you can write an email to [email protected] or find an alternative route in this section, including phone numbers, Student Advice Center, Slack workspace and Discord server.

General advice on how to ask and find answers

Succeeding in this degree has a lot to do with how resourceful you are. This page is meant to be a helpful guidance along the way, but developing a few key skills on your own will become an increasing necessity, including being able to research online, debugging code effectively and knowing how to ask questions.
