The bot recognizes all messages containing a "?" in the question channels as Questions.and opens a Question thread for you. These channels can be identified by the "-questions" suffix. It is important that you ask your questions in the corresponding channel. All questions regarding the lecture material belong in the slide-questions channel while organizational and other question belong in general-questions.
The bot provides the ID for this question and the context if a presentation is running. If no presentation is running you can (and should) provide the correct context with the context commands in the thread:
L:4 This sets the slide set to 2 ( use the !lectures command in the questions channel to see the currently available slide sets.
S:10 This sets the slide number as used in the presentation.
If you forgot the "?" or the bot didn't recognize the question you can react to your question with the ❓ emoji. If the bot still doesn't recognize the question please ask it again in the questions-channel after checking the bots online status.
When a teaching assistent provides an answer or a student has submitted a correct answer a teaching assistent will mark it with a ✅. At this point the Question & Answer will be shown on the q&a wall.
Other slides can be referenced with the !ref command. This is useful when you want to compare the context to a different slide. To call slide 5 from presentation 2 as a reference write "!ref L:2 S:5" in the thread.
To ask a question anonymously simply open a direct message channel to the bot. Then send your question to the bot with the following commands:
