Email
questions should be sent to the CMOSedu
Google group (not directly to the instructor).
While
the instructor may likely respond quickly (to make getting the credit
for the
class participation challenging) questions for the instructor (only)
should be
asked in person during his office hours and not via email or addressed
to the
instructor and sent to the CMOSedu Google group.
Policies
No
laptops or Internet appliances can be used during lectures or exams (no
e-books).
No
late work accepted. All assigned work is due at the beginning of class.
Neither
the final exam nor final project will be returned at the end of the
semester.
Regularly
being tardy for lectures, leaving in the middle of lectures, or earlier
from
lectures is unacceptable without prior consent of the instructor
Cheating
or plagiarism will result in an automatic F grade in the course (so do
your own
homework and projects!)
