How to Succeed in CISC 3410.

• Come to class.
  • There isn't much else to say on this point.

• Yes, I post lecture notes on the web.
  • BUT, the notes are NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR COMING TO CLASS. If you must miss a class, YOU are responsible for getting notes from someone who did come to class.
  • Everything I say is NOT in the lecture notes, but anything I say MIGHT be on an exam or in a homework, so you need to take notes on what I say.
  • Sometimes there are mistakes in the lecture notes which get caught during class. So, unless you get to class you risk not finding out what these corrections are.

• Read my hints for sending me email.
  

• Read my submission and late policy.
  

• Read my regrade policy.
  

• Know that arguing about grades is something that really annoys me. I don't know why you are here, but I am here to help you learn, not to give you a piece of paper with a letter on it. If I feel that you are spending more time arguing with me about your grade than you are working on learning the material or doing your homework, I will not be happy.

• But really, I'm a reasonable person. If things in your life start to go wrong, please come see me before you let things get out of hand.
