+
+# Discord
+* Discord supports text, voice, video, and screen sharing
+* Virtual office hours will be held on Discord
+* Questions may be asked over Discord directly to me or to the class about the material in the class, etc
+	* If asking/answering publicly, do not post your current work or answers to exercises/projects/tests
+	* If asking me a question about your work, make sure your current work is submitted to Canvas or pushed to GitHub
+* Additionally, Discord will be used to support group work

+* Details of each specific exercise will be provided when assigned

+* When a Git repository is required, good practices are expected to be used:
+	* Develop and commit work incrementally
+	* [Good commit messages](https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit).
+	* No binaries or other generated artifacts are versioned
+* Your final work must be submitted to Canvas or pushed to GitHub by the due date
