If you have a course-related question or bug, post it in the Q&A below each video. Our team will respond (and you'll receive an email notification) ASAP during office hours. We'll follow-up if we need more info from you.
We're also available via email [email protected] and via chat if you want to ask anything privately, though we encourage asking publicly whenever possible!
A polite note: email and chat messages go to the same mailbox, so you won't receive a faster reply if you ask multiple times. Just once is great!
If you have a non-course question or are looking for feedback on a project, feel free to post in the Slack channel #help-course-name, where both SuperHi staff and our student community are hanging out. Everyone helps each other out here!
We also have the more general #help channel, for non-course chat, feedback and questions.
SuperHi is a small (but mighty!) team so please don't DM staff – keeping your question public helps us, as a team, follow-through as quickly and as efficiently as possible. 💙
