Current Announcements
  • Check the CMSC 420 course pages on elms for announcements, TA office hours, and additional resources. Expect to receive lots of email from Dr. Hugue, sent to cmsc420-0201-spr12@coursemail.umd.edu. or cmsc420-0101-spr12@coursemail.umd.edu. I will send email as drmeeshATgmailDotcom, as well as meeshATcsDotumdDotedu. To help you, I will endeavor to put cmsc420 or 420 in the subject. clarifications. All project-related questions will be answered on piazza to ensure all students equal access to the information. In general, answers will not be emailed by the TA. And, please don't email Dr. Hugue directly with project questions (unless there is a private issue or other irregularity which disturbs you). She will just tell you to post to piazza.
