Email:

Send all e-mail to gasan5@canyoncollege.edu When sending e-mail, please put the course number (CST462) as part of the subject line. Any of the following would be ideal:
CST462 – Quiz 1 Question
CST462 – Virtual Functions
CST462 – HELP!!!
All email inquires needing a reply, will be answered within 24 hours. If you do not receive some type of an acknowledgment from me within that time, I either did not receive the original e-mail, or I, uhm, forgot. In either case, please send me a “gentle” reminder. If that doesn’t work, there really might be something wrong with our e-mail “connection,” and you should follow up with a phone call.

What is expected of the students:

LOTS. Lots of hours, sweat and effort, along with night after night of writing code. At least, if this is what you think from the first, you’ll be better off. There will be lots of reading, and there will be tons of lines of already written code examples to run, and many new lines of code for you to write. Yes, all of this will be very time consuming. Even though you’re not required to attend class, you are expected to keep up with the reading, trying out the samples programs, etc. An hour on Sunday before an assignment is due will NOT work. Once you get behind in the course work, it will be extremely difficult to catch up.
