Any Questions? Forum & Email Protocols


  1. Use the course forum to ask any course-related questions. This is the best and fastest way to get answers. You are also encouraged to answer questions posted on the forum. To use the forum, you must adhere to the forum protocol:

    • Do not ask a question which has already been asked or whose answer has already been posted. To that end, use the search facility to look for keywords related to your question.
    • Be clear and specific. This applies to the post title as well as to its body. For example, “Please Help” is not a good title, and “My code is not working” is not useful — instead, provide the exception message and the code.
    • Do not mix topics. If while answering a question, you think of a different question, then post it in a separate topic.
    • Be professional in terms of language and tone.
  2. For questions related to private matters requiring confidentiality, either see me during my office hour or send me an email (here). The email protocol is as follows:

    • Put “EECS4413/X” in the subject line where X is your PPY (Passport York) username.
    • Include your full name in the message body. Do not include your York ID (emails are not secure).
    • For guidelines on writing professional emails, read this.
    • Email messages not meeting these guidelines, or not requiring confidentiality, will not be answered.
