- Contact:
- For project-specific questions, use the Forum first. We will read the
forum strictly before answering our email. The forum is shared
among all CS3214 sections this semester, because all sections will
be using the same projects.
- For project-related questions that you feel you cannot or do not
want to post in the forum use cs3214-staff@cs.vt.edu. This alias
goes to all TAs and instructors for this semester's offering. By
sending it to that alias, you ensure that we all are kept up to
date, and that we all have a chance to answer your question.
However, we encourage the use of the forum. If we feel a question
is appropriate for the forum, and we expect that the vast majority
of questions is, we may just ask you to post it there instead of
answering it by email.

stipulations of the undergraduate honor code and the departmental policy on
cheating. Additional information can be found in the

Undergraduate Honor System Constitution
- Not attending on the first day of class doesn't automatically drop you if you are enrolled.
- I enforce prerequisites (a grade of C or better in a completed 2506 and 2114), you can't take either class concurrently with this one.
- You must submit a prerequisite form which I'll hand out in class. The deadline is Jan 26, 2011.
- You are not eligible to take this class if you have passed CS 3204 already.

Policy for students retaking this class
- Students retaking the class can use
code that was created previously only as a reference for themselves,
but they are not allowed to share it with their new group members, be
it electronically or otherwise. Any project submission for this semester
has to be created from scratch by all group members.
