b. Go to https://myvideosu.stanford.edu

If you have problems accessing videos or any other technical difficulties, please contact the SCPD help desk at tech-support@scpdinfo.stanford.edu or call 650-725-3016 for help.

Obtaining take-homes and policy papers

These will be available electronically on the handouts page. The students will be informed if there is a change in this.

Submitting take-homes and policy papers.

Students can do this in any of the following ways:

  1. Fax to SCPD (Fax number 650-736-1266 or 650-725-4138). Place your name, the course number (MS&E 193/293) and page number on each page of the material faxed.
  2. E-mail to SCPD at scpd-distribution@lists.stanford.edu.
  3. E-mail your work directly to meganm1@stanford.edu. Please note that if you choose this option, you need to CC the SCPD distribution while sending the email. The SCPD distribution logs all email and can help in case an assignment is lost. Because of the large volume of email, the teaching team and administration staff will assume that any work not logged by the SCPD distribution list has not been submitted. Please do not email your work to any other member of the teaching team.

All homework submitted to the SCPD will be date-stamped and delivered to the departments by 1:00 PM daily. Homework received after 1:00PM will be delivered the next business day. Any homework that has a date-stamp after the deadline will be counted as being late.

Please use the route form as the cover sheet when submitting any assignments.
