General course information

Tips for Courses with Online Homework Submission

Follow any specific directions for submission in your course; for example, COMP 264 will sometimes have specialized mechanisms. Usually, submission will be through Sakai even though your course web page may have an emergency backup submission mechanism of my own creation. (If you submit anything using my backup method, let me know, or I might not notice it.) Remember to click the button for final submission when preparing a Sakai submission, or I won't see anything. (And if an assignment is not set to allow resubmission before the due date and that is a problem, let me know.) See also my suggestions for creating online submissions.

General Comments about Grading

You may also find here a few general comments regarding grading for those of you who want to understand some of the details of how I grade.

Tips for Writing Proofs

Here are some tips for writing proofs in courses where this is relevant.

Information for Courses Including Pair-Programming

(Thanks to Dr. Harrington for pulling together these materials.)
Not pair programming

Current courses (Spring 2026)

Enrolled students can access the course home page after I have harvested information from Locus; these will generally be for backup, since Sakai should generally be sufficient.

The pages below and related materials are open to currently enrolled students (TYPICALLY A FEW DAYS AFTER START OF TERM). While materials generally also are provided through Sakai, there may be occasional plusses to using these pages for backup. When you go to one of these pages, a box will pop up asking for "User ID" and "Password". For "User ID", use your Loyola UVID (for example, "johnqstudent" if your email is "johnqstudent@luc.edu") all in lowercase. For "Password", use the last nine digits of your Loyola personal identification number (that appears on things like bills and transcripts). Note: Do not use cut and paste; we have seen this causing a problem in Internet Explorer. Do not include the "P" and all the leading zeros but just the last nine digits. Note that the Loyola PID is not your social security number. Also, you may have been assigned a "substitute" social security number as well as a Loyola PID; these substitute social security numbers seem to generally start with one or more 9's (after trimming to nine digits), whereas the only Loyola PIDs I have seen so far start with 0.

Syllabi

Here are my most recent syllabi for courses that I have taught at Loyola (including courses in progress).
