Email Policy

Students must place CS 12 in the subject line of every email written to the instructors in order to guarantee that it will be read. I personally receive too much junk and teach several other classes besides this one. I will not read emails that are not sent in this manner and will instead delete them. Also, please specify your name somewhere in the email so that I will know who you are. Here is an example of what NOT to do:

from: dr4gunF1r3@nowhere.com
to: Jamie Levy
subject: hey

Hey, wassup?!?  I wuz wundrin if u got my grade yet??  If so, could
u plz send it to me?

It may seem exaggerated, but I've actually received emails like this in the past. I have no idea who the student is or which class s/he is attending. I'd rather just avoid tracking students and have implemented this policy to do so.

Cell Phones and Other Electronic Devices

I understand the need to keep in touch with loved ones, and that cell phones are the easiest way for others to keep track of us. However, I expect that all cell phones, pagers etc. will be inaudible during class. Any student with an electronic device that disrupts the class runs the risk of loosing points from his/her average (per occurrence). If an electronic device disrupts the class during an exam, the student will loose points from his/her exam.
