Instructor Contact Notes: There are generally multiple lecture sections of this course, each taught by an individual professor (refered to as instructor). If you have a question about course material, assignments, labs, or common procedures or policies, you may contact any of the instructors to answer it. You may visit any instructor in his/her office during his/her office hours. Our offices are right next to each other in Brooks Hall. The office hours vary depending upon each individual's schedule. If you have a question about grades, you must contact only your instructor. Finally, if you have a question about utilizing course software or about a specific software project, you may contact any TA when he/she is present in Caldwell 305 during the normal lab times. Try them first, or email them. Then, contact any of the instructors. One comment about  learning computing tools: "it is experiential." Try stuff to see what it does, and utilize the software's Help System before contacting us. Ofttimes the answer can be found that way. Finally, we will send email out about assignments when we add more details to clarify sticky points that have arisen as the assignment is worked upon. It is important that you check your WebCT course email for this information. It will save us all a lot of needless effort.

Email Notes (Important): When you email me about course issues, use the WebCT course email system. Always start the subject with "MIST2090: " and include a meaningful subject. You must include your name in the message (ideally as a signature at the bottom). I will not respond to email without that information. (I teach other classes and conduct other business via email I need context and names beyond "Hey about what you said yesterday" or "Re:" to know what you want. Thanks for doing this.)
