another's work without any indication of the source and the
representation of such work as the student's own. Any student
who fails to give credit to ideas, expressions or materials
taken from another source, including internet sources, is guilty
of plagiarism. Any student helping another to plagiarize may be
found guilty of academic misconduct."

The best way to communicate with me is by email.
Emails
-
Subject line: When
you send an email, make sure that the subject line of
your email starts as per
Example 1
that follows:
- Carbon
copies: If you would
like to make sure that you have sent important email correctly,
send a "cc" to yourself. Then if you do not get a copy back -
you know there is something wrong.
-
Requesting a receipt:
If you want a receipt for assignments, projects and
important emails, activate your receipt request in your email
program. This is a simple procedure and will cut down a lot of
emails asking me -did you receive my email Professor? If you are
using Outlook Express for example, Click on Tools, Options,
Receipts and choose request receipt.
- The
time and date of your emails must be accurate especially
when there are deadlines. Your email starts off with your
computer's time and date. If this is incorrect by an hour, then
your email will arrive by an hour off. Therefore make sure that
the computer your are using, the lab computer, the office
computer, your friend's computer and your laptop and desktop
have an accurate time and date. Assignments that arrive late
receive only a fraction of the grade and assignments that do not
arrive at all, receive an incomplete until they arrive.
- If the
time or date is incorrect then this is what you do: Move
your mouse to the bottom right hand corner of your monitor.
Slide it over the time. This will give you the time and date. If
it is not accurate, right click on it. Adjust date and time.
Make sure Date, Time and Time Zone are correct.
- Anti
Virus: A good
antiviral program is necessary. Protect your computer. If your
email or attachment contains a virus, it will not be opened and
will be deleted immediately.
- All
attachments being
sent must be formats that are supported. An example: MS Office,
MS Word, MS Excel, MS Access, MS PowerPoint, Notepad, WordPad,
.jpeg, .mpeg, .wav, .tiff, Corel Draw, .swf, .htm, FrontPage.
- I do
not support
WordPerfect
at this present moment.
- Spell
check: Please
activate and use it. Typos and incorrect spelling does not make
a good impression and sometimes can confuse the reader.
- Large
files and attachments:
Some email programs have a limit on how large a file you can
send through them. For example, HOTMAIL has a limit of 1MB. If
your attachment or file is larger than 1 MB, your file will not
be sent. You can either compress your files with a zip or use
another email service e.g. Yahoo.com
-
Subject line: [ v e r y i m p o r t
a n t ]
If your class,
for example is MAN 4504 this is what should go as a heading in your
email subject line
MAN 4504/Pat
Smith/Assignment 1 OR
MAN
4504/John Garcia/Absent
If you are
not attending a class right now your subject line
should start off with:
YOUR NAME/Subject
Telephone
calls
Please email
me at gklon@ fiu. edu
.
Do not call my department
to leave a message. The staff in the CBA are there to support the
faculty in their duties.
Faxes
Do not send
faxes.
Dropping
in:
It is my pleasure to see you. However, "dropping in" does not
necessarily mean that there will be enough time to see you or deal
with a particular problem. So, if your business is important make
sure that you have emailed me or spoken to me first.
