Assignment Submission Label
To permit me to concentrate on the content of your
assignments, material handed in for marking must be easy for me to
identify.
I have prepared a set of Assignment Standards, which you
will find as a button on my academic home page.
In particular, for full marks,
you must label all assignments submitted to me,
on paper or electronically, using the exact eight-line
Assignment Label specified, using the exact spellings given.
Forward your Algonquin EMail
EMail is a critical part of course delivery for this course.
You must have a working Algonquin EMail address for
this course.
You must read your EMail regularly (daily) during the school term.
You can forward your Algonquin EMail to any other address you wish.
Search for "forward" in the
ITS Mail Help
.
Please ensure that your email messages always originate
from your Algonquin EMail address or else my spam blocker
may throw away your unknown mail address as junk.
Your "From:" address must be your Algonquin EMail address, not a
Hotmail, Carleton, or other off-campus address.
You are responsible for keeping your own forwarding address
accurate during the term.
During the term, I will only send your marks to your
(possibly forwarded) Algonquin EMail address.
You may wish to set your "alternate" EMail using Algonquin
ACSIS while on campus.
I may use your alternate EMail to inform you that your main
Algonquin EMail account has a forwarding error; no personal
data will ever be sent to the alternate EMail address.
Plagiarism and Academic Fraud
No unauthorized copying! Restricted group work! Restricted working together!
Working together is not permitted except in assignments
specifically labelled by the instructor as group assignments.
Even where using another person's material is permitted (from other
students, books, the Internet, or even from the blackboard or posted
course notes), copying material from other sources and submitting it
without proper credit to the author is an academic offence called
plagiarism.
You must credit the source of material that you did not
write yourself, no matter from where it comes!
Students working together without authorization or submitting work
containing plagiarized material in the programme will be charged
with academic fraud under Algonquin Academic Regulations.
Read the
plagiarism
document for details.
Web notes for this course are not kept at Algonquin College.
I pay for them to be stored on a commercial Linux-based web
hosting service, with backup copies located in other locations.
Write down the locations of the web notes and their backup copies
from the list below.

Unfortunately, the web server on ACADUNIX is broken and will
not serve up the directory index files correctly.
