I don't mind being called at home as long as you:

1) Try my office first - I keep very irregular hours.
2) Don't call before 9 AM or after 10 PM.
3) Use Email or leave a message on my office phone if it's not urgent.

You can leave a message at either number.  Please suggest a time and phone
number that I can return your call.

Exams:  There will no exams.

Grading:  The course will be graded on the basis of written
assignments, programming assignments and a (possibly optional) major project.
Project details will be discussed in class and posted later.

Collaboration:  On homework exercises collaboration is allowed at the level of
   discussing ideas, but credit must be given to the other parties whether you
   gave or received help.  A simple statement on the homework sheet, such as
   "I helped Don Knuth on problem 1." or "Alan Turing helped me with part c
   of problem 2." or "Grace Murray Hopper and I discussed the design of
   COBOL." will suffice.  Copying or working out the details of assignments
   collaboratively is not allowed.  Collaboration on exams is absolutely
   prohibited.  Failure to follow these guidelines may result in severe
   disciplinary action for all parties involved.  See The Pachyderm and the
   booklet "Honesty is..." available from the Dean of Students' Office.

Late policy:  Assignments are to be handed in at class unless
	      otherwise noted.  20% per weekday late will be deducted unless
	      some other arrangement is agreed to before the due date.
