lead to academic dishonesty. If you plan to work with other students in the course,
please collaborate and DO NOT CHEAT!
Many forms of communication are available including text, phone, email, Skype, voicemail.
General Policy: Faculty are available by appointment or during office hours.
Since only one form can occur at a time, if you receive no response, please be patient.
Email Policy: Emails not CLEARLY defined in the subject line will be discarded without
opening due to security reasons. A clearly defined subject includes your name, course, and
topic of the email. Emails, depending on the request, take 1-3 business days for a response.
If you want to know whether the email has initially been received, it is recommended to use a
