| Communication: | |
Your instructor is finite and values focus. Please keep these points in mind when needing to communicate with him:
- Post questions to the discussion board. Use email only when absolutely necessary.
- Your instructor responds to email only once a day, in the late afternoon.
- Attend posted office hours. Do not drop by at other times unannounced. If you have schedule conflicts, send an email to arrange an alternate time.

| Good studentship: | |
Follow these principles to maximize your learning and grade:
- Getting a good education requires both good teaching and good learning. It's hard work for both instructor and student.
- Early is better than on time. Late homework receives a 0. Hard deadlines are set to ensure faster grading.
- Plan for homework to take longer than you think. Ample time is allotted. Extensions are not granted.
- Do your own coding. Discussion of problems is allowed, but plagiarism and soliciting solutions will earn you a report of academic misconduct and lower your grade. You don't want to live in a world serviced by cheaters, so don't be one yourself.
- Grades are calculated according to your scores, not your circumstances.
