### Drop-in Hours aka "Office Hours"
They are listed on the [discussion board for your class](https://github.com/LeDataSciFi/ledatascifi-2023/discussions). **Office hour schedules can and do change during the semester, so please check back!**
_Note: You can't see the discussion board until you complete the [set up instructions.](02_Setup)_
```{note}
**I suspect that the initial learning curve will be steep, so we have posted a lot of office hours. Around Valentines Day, we will reduce our explicit office hours. Remember, when you get stuck, _especially_ on installation and set up issues,**
