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 Linux User Group (OCLUG). Algonquin College Contact Information I'm on a reduced-salary one-year professional development leave ("sabbatical") from teaching between June 15 2008 and June 15 2009. I expect to be working mostly in Ottawa. I will resume teaching courses in September 2009.

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. Understand my Assignment Submission Standards, especially the Assignment Submission Label.  I really do want you to use that label on your submitted materials.
4. Keep up-to-date with the course Web pages. Read the course Announcements regularly.
5. Know how to contact me by using the class open discussion mailing list (for course questions), or (if the issue is personal) by EMail.  Please do not send me EMail about course content; use the discussion group for that so everyone sees the question and my answer. (Or perhaps someone in the class can answer your question before I do!)

Plagiarism - Working Together and Sharing Assignments

Team work and re-use of code is normally a mark of a good programmer and IT worker; however, especially in an academic setting, 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.
