Instructor Contact Information

Technical and administrative questions related to course content covered in class or on assignments should be posted to the Piazza discussion forum that we created for this course.  That way, all students can benefit from seeing your questions and our answers.  Please note that if you do not want to associate your name with a question for any reason, you are welcome to post your questions to the discussion forum anonymously.

Questions and other issues related to your own work and performance in this course, including requests for excused absences, should be e-mailed to both Profs. Heines and Greher.  We really do teach this course together, and we are both responsible for all aspects of student grading, etc.  For these types of issues, or to make appointments with us or see us during our office hours, we provide all of our contact information below.

Please note that due to the roles that we fulfill in addition to our teaching duties, each of us receives a flood of e-mail every single day, including weekends.  In addition, there are multiple filters on our incoming e-mail to auto-delete junk mail and pornography, and messages without subject headers typically end up in our Junk Mail folders.

It is therefore critical that you always include a subject header on all your e-mail messages to us.

In addition, to get us to read and respond to your e-mail before all others, always begin your subject header with our course number (COMP 2120 or MUED 2120) followed by a few words that clearly identify what your e-mail is about.

These guidelines are for your benefit, and following them will get your questions answered as quickly as possible.
