For appointments or ANY questions, please email me first.

I will try to settle it by email unless meeting is necessary. Office walk-in is based on "first come-in, first serve" but if your walk-in time is someone's appointment time, you have to wait. So please try to schedule a specific time for appointment by email first.

About Homework Submission

For any submission, I will reply an email saying "received" or "late submission" etc. If you did not receive any confirmation after 2 business days, please email me.
For any email related to course whose name's first characters abbreviation is "XXX" and which is in year "YY", please put a "XXXYY" ahead of the email subject. I will put the abbreviation aside the course name bove.
For example, "PL04" for Programming Language in 2004. "PL-04" or "PL whitespace 04" is not acceptable. This helps me to organize the emails and avoid the case that I may miss your email.
Please specify your name(or group number), homework number in the email subject if you are submiting homework.
For example, for "PL04" homework 2 submission, you can use subject "PL04 firstname lastname homework 2".
If there are attachment, the naming convention for it is: firstname_lastname_hw(proj)_#.
For example, "Zhihua_Wang_hw_2.txt", "Zhihua_Wang_Proj_1".
This will help to the efficiency and accuracy of my grading.
Please give me your SSN or student ID. You need to do it ONLY once. I will collect it JUST for reference. (What we want is actually 9-digit student ID. Because that's the unique identification for each student and we need it to input the score into the system. Accidently, some student's id is identical to SSN but the school think that it is reasonable to ask this information. So if you are reluctant to give this ID, you may want to talk to the professor face to face and give it to him directly. Also, you may request to not using SSN as student ID at the registrar but I am not sure and not familiar with the process.)
For any programming project,
a) Some documentation such as "readme.txt" is required. It should give me information about:
(1) How to compile and run the program
(2) How the directories and files are organized
(3) What you did and what I expect to see
b) Only source code should be included, but any related libraries which are really necessary for me to compile&run should be included
c) Ideally the code should able to compile & run on any platform except for special case
d) At the beginning of each source file, please include your name, project number and email address as comments.
For any submission other than programming project,
a hard-copy submission is highly suggested at the same time of e-copy submission.
If the professor does not require it or does not collect it, you can put it in my mail-box (red label in student section) at the first floor of Courant Building (WWH).
Make sure to email me after that so I can pick it up as soon as possible.

About Grade Disputes

If you work in groups, every member of the group will get the SAME grade. I am not responsible for judging the contribution of each group member. It is your own responsibility and very important for you to select good group member to co-operate. Be very careful when you decide to do it yourself or find a group partner.
If you forms a group, my suggestion is to assign a team leader at the very beginning who will be responsible for organizing and urging the progress of the project.
If you do not agree with the grade, please present it to me AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, don't come in my office after MORE THAN TWO WEEKS. I may forget the context and it is hard for me to give you points back.
You can EMAIL ME FIRST about the grade issue, maybe I can solve it just by checking it again.
If you are not satisfied by the email reply, please come to my office during the office hour, better with the hard-copy of the places in the homework that you does not agree on.
If you want to come in my office hour, schedule a more specified time by email, " 3:15pm" for example, that will prevent you from wasting time to wait for other people.
If you still do not agree with me about grade after our meeting, then please contact the lecturer or professor directly.
