* A clarification about homeworks
When you describe for a homework or exam a solution that uses, as a subroutine,
an algorithm we covered in class (e.g., selection) you do not need to repeat
the details we gave in class (e.g., you can use selection as a subroutine
without concern for its internal details)
* When sending me email please include "CS 580" in the subject ...
... to guarantee priority processing of your email; I am flooded with
non-spam email every day, most of which is slow-processed unless
it includes something that makes me treat it with priority (like "CS 580"
in the subject, or email from someone with whom I collaborate, etc).
I generally prefer to answer questions about the class in person, either
during my office hours or in the classroom, because (i) the communication
bandwidth is better than email; (ii) I have trouble typing due to an RSI
problem with my hands; and (iii) others may benefit from the answer.
* Please add yourself to the cs580 mailing list
... by typing "mailer add me to cs580" and hitting RETURN on a CS machine
(if you don't have a CS account just drop the TA an email note and he will add you
to the list). Please use your Purdue email address for this list and for
all emails about this class.
