Can you send me email?
Yes! I try to check my e-mail almost daily M-F but I am sometimes detained by students. I do answer many short questions. I do not debug programs mailed to me!

Academic Integrity:
Some assignments will be team assignments. Most assignments will be individual assignments. With the exception of fellow team members, working on a team assignment, each student is to complete his/her own work. All exams shall be done individually by each student. It is this professor's feelings that those students who sacrifice their own integrity by falsely representing their work, or who knowingly aide others in doing so, have no place in higher education.
The general policy for cheating is an automatic "F" in the course, a letter submitted to student affairs, and the proper following of Trinity University academic integrity policy.
Take great care to erase all labs from university computers so that others may not submit your work as their own! Do not loan any lab or project to a fellow student! Do your own work!
Before you resort to turning in someone else's work as
your own, let's talk. If you are under undue pressure to aide other students
in such a way that your own security is threatened, let's talk. It
is not worth failing a three hour course and risking your entire academic
future!

I am almost always in my office or helping a student in a lab during office hours; if I must miss my office hours, I generally post a note on the door and/or send mail to my students and/or notify students in lecture. If I am not physically in the office, I will have most often gone to one of the Halsell Labs to help one of my students. If I am not in my office, check the CS Majors Lab [Halsell 340], check the Classroom/ lab [Halsell 228], the Virtual Reality Lab [Halsell 200] or the University Lab [Halsell 226]. Please let me know that you are waiting to see me.
