Special Instructions for Distance Learning Students
Send all correspondence to the address below. Do not send duplicate copies of homework or exams to me. This allows the material to be properly logged in and will decrease overall confusion. Be sure to include my name and the course number on all correspondence.

Feel free to contact the TAs or me with questions. This can be done via e-mail, phone. We will do our best to get you a quick answer. There are many people in this class, so try to start with the TAs and then me if you need additional help.
Since there will be a delay between the date a lecture is given and the date you view it, the due dates for homework and exams are also delayed. All of the homework sets and exams will be keyed to lecture numbers. Homework will generally be due one week after the viewing the lecture in which it is assigned. By this time you should have completed the assignment, and started it on its path to Tucson. All homework and exams must be received within two weeks of the on-campus due date or exam date. At the most, you will be two weeks behind the on-campus students. Any exceptions to this must be approved in advance. Shorter delays make it easier for everyone, and help speed your results back to you. Once we receive your assignments, we will grade and return them in one or two weeks. In any event, all course materials must arrive in Tucson by Wednesday January 7.
Anything not received on time will receive a zero, and your grade will be computed accordingly.
I would also appreciate it if you would send me a brief paragraph about your job and educational background. I always find it interesting to see the diversity of employment of our distance students. Also include your address, phone and FAX numbers, e-mail address, and anything else you think I should have.
