Conduct
Students will adhere to the "student code of conduct" and computer use policy as described at http://www.santarosa.edu/cis/student/pol-conduct.html and http://www.santarosa.edu/polman/6facilit/6.9p.html .

Cells phones must be turned off or to vibrate only, if you decide to use the SRJC computer lab. See the policy at http://www.santarosa.edu/cis/student/pol-phone.html

Getting Help:
Please never ever feel guilty about asking me for help, it is normal to become confused and I am happy to help. The primary method for asking a question is via e-mail, but you can also send me your phone # and good times to call, and we can talk about your problem. You may also call and leave a message for me at the CIS Department office.

If you would like to meet with me in person we can make an appointment to see me, either in the CIS office or CSL Lab. Don't forget that if you e-mail me you must include "CIS158.1" in the subject line, include your first and last name, the section # for your class, and then describe the problem as specifically as possible The more detailed your question, the easier it is to answer.

You are not required to do any of your work in the computer lab at school, but, if you are having trouble, that's the place to go. I am NOT scheduled to be in the lab this semester. However, most of the other instructors and lab assistants may be able to answer your questions.
