I teach at Algonquin College of Applied Arts and Technology in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.  Use the Biography link on the left for more information. I also give talks at the local Ottawa Canada GNU/Linux User Group (OCLUG). Algonquin Contact Information During Fall 2011 I am teaching one course (CST8281), helping with labs for one other course (CST8207), and working part-time for Learning and Teaching Services (LTS). The list of courses is below. During Winter 2012 I am teaching one course (CST8207) and working part-time for Learning and Teaching Services (LTS). The list of courses is below. I've been using EMail since 1976 and Internet since about 1982.  The best way to contact me is by my home email "idallen@idallen.ca". Don't use my College email address "alleni" - mail sent via that address gets mangled when forwarded by Microsoft Exchange/Outlook. Remember to add my email address to your address book and EMail White List so that you receive my replies.

Academic Requirements

Here are the basic things you must know to get credit in the courses that I teach.

1. Make sure you are registered in my course. I get your name and EMail address directly from the registration records.
2. You must have a working Algonquin EMail address. Make sure your Algonquin EMail is correctly forwarded to an EMail account that you read regularly. To learn how to forward your Algonquin Email, visit the Algonquin College ITS support site.
3. Know how to spell your name the same way as you are registered. On mark-sense forms, the computer matches the name you give me against the name you used when you registered with Algonquin. If you want your marks credited to you, the names must match exactly.
4. Keep up-to-date with the course Web pages. Read the course Announcements regularly.

Plagiarism - Working Together and Sharing Assignments

Team work and re-use of material is normally a mark of a good programmer and IT worker; however, in an academic setting we are attempting to assess your achievements, not how well you copy from other people. Cuting-and-pasting from someone else is not solving a problem. Do your own thinking and write your own answers. No cutting-and-pasting.

Where group work is explicitly allowed in an assignment - it must be written in the assignment - you must give proper credit to the source of all material that you did not create yourself. You may not "work together" on an assignment unless the assignment is explicitly a group assignment with a group mark.

Using code or material from other people, from books, from lecture notes, from the blackboard, or from the Internet, and submitting it under your name without proper credit to the actual author is an academic offence called plagiarism that has severe penalties. No cutting-and-pasting.
