Piazza — We are using Piazza for course communication. You must sign up for CPSC 221's Piazza section https://piazza.com/ubc.ca/winterterm22015/cpsc221/home and read at least the announcements daily, but you may use a throwaway e-mail address and a pseudonym to sign up if you do not want identifying information stored outside Canada. (You need the signup key to sign up. This will be announced several times in lecture. If you didn't get it, as in class, or lab, or TA office hours, or your friends in class who did get it!)
(For private enquiries or those that may violate academic conduct standards, e-mail your instructor.)
Grades (Connect) — We will use Connect as an electronic gradebook, so you can check that your marks were recorded properly. If you see a mistake, be sure to contact us ASAP! (Talk to or email your lab TA for missing/wrong lab marks, and your instructor for missing/wrong assignment/exam marks.) If you do not inform us of errors on Connect before the end of the term, the marks recorded on Connect are final.
