- Homework is due exactly at the prescribed time. No late homework is accepted.
- In the event you are running late for the class, you may email the softcopy of the assignment in one ZIP file to both the instructor and the TA to secure your submission time and turn in the full package of the same version to the instructor within one day. Your homework will not be graded until the instructor received the full package.
- There are no make-up tests except in verified medical emergencies and with immediate notification.
- Any questions or complaints regarding the grading of an assignment or test must be raised within one week after the score or the graded assignment is made available (not when you pick it up).
- Providing answers for any examination when not specifically authorized by the instructor to do so, or, informing any person or persons of the contents of any examination prior to the time the examination is given is considered cheating.
- Penalty for cheating will be extremely severe. Use your best judgment. If you are not sure about certain activities, consult the instructor. Standard academic honesty procedure will be followed for cheating and active cheating automatically results F in the final grade.

Pay very careful attention to your email correspondence.
It reflects your communication skills. Avoid use non-standard English such as "how
r u?" in your email message. In addition, I recommend you put the class number
4931 and a brief summary of your question in your email subject. For example,
Subject: CSCI4931 A question on E-Commerce Business Pattern. - I immediately discard anonymous emails.
- The ringing, beeping, buzzing of cell phones, watches, and/or pagers during class time is extremely rude and disruptive to your fellow students and to the class flow. Please turn off all cell phones, watches, and pagers prior to the start of class.
