Course Staff

The instructor for Com S 342 is professor Gary T. Leavens. The TAs are Tongjie Chen, Brian Dorn, and Dalei Li. Please do not hesitate to ask either of us questions.

The fastest way to receive an answer to a question is to phone Gary Leavens, or to email all of us using the cs342s email account, cs342s@cs-DOT-iastate-DOT-edu (replace `-DOT-' by `.').

Due to the vast amounts of spam from networked email providers like hotmail, yahoo, etc., if you send email from one of these providers, we can't guarantee that we'll read it quickly or notice it (although we will try at the beginning of the semester). For fast responses, please send email directly from an Iowa State computer, or send an email to us before you have problems, so we can put you on our "non-spam" list.

During the semester, we will hold weekly office hours at the times listed below, and by appointment. Please let us know if none of these times work for you and we will consider revising the schedule.

If you need to drop off something and we are busy or not in our offices you can leave it in the department office. Have the office staff note the time and put it in Gary Leavens's mailbox.
