Email rules
Because instructors get a LOT of email (1000s of messages a term), we need your help. Here are some rules that will help make my life easier and my responses quicker.
-
Identify this course (236), yourself (by your real name) and the point of the email. Ideally, your subject line will be of the form:
236: (real name if not in the From: header), email topicwhere the email topic is short and descriptive. A BAD example of an email topic is "URGENT question": most of our emails are questions, and we treat all our students equally, judging the urgency based on the situation. Here's a good example: "Possible error in A3 handout".
In the body of your email, please include your full name.
-
Don't use MIME or HTML in your email. And try not to include advertising.
-
If you send an email and then realize you didn't follow these rules, don't send it again unless you left out your name completely.
Newsgroup
The newsgroup is provided for general discussion related to this course. DO NOT use it to discuss assignment solutions. At most, for assignments, only use it to ask for clarifications. In particular, NEVER publically post your solution to an assignment, or even your idea of the solution to an assignment, or even one small part of your solution to an assignment, etc. We must consider these as academic offenses! Instead, for help solving the assignments, you have my office hours, email and the TAs.
You should follow some of the "Email rules" when posting to the newsgroup: supply a good topic and sign with your real name. Don't use MIME or HTML, avoid including advertising, and identify yourself in the body of the message.
