Office Hours:
I will generally try to be available in my office on Tuesday 1:30-2:30pm and
Thursday 10:30-11:30am; other times are possible by prior arrangement. Please
contact me via e-mail to confirm that I will be available during the scheduled
office hours. I check my e-mail several times during the day and evening,
so often a simple question can be answered without a visit. I am available
to discuss course material, issues in science and technology, and university
life in general.

Other Matters:
Any students with disabilities who seek accommodations in this course are encouraged
to speak with the instructor to make appropriate arrangements. UD's Academic
Services Center should also be consulted.
Throughout the semester, you are invited to leave anonymous suggestions/comments for the instructor via the online form at our suggestion box. When possible these notes will be posted to a follow-up area along with clarifying comments, as appropriate.
Rules and Responsibilities for students at UD includes good descriptions of what constitutes plagiarism, fabrication, cheating, and academic misconduct. I try to avoid academic improprieties and I encourage you to do the same. You should also adhere to the Policy for Responsible Computing.
