If you aren't receiving
email from me:

Most of the time, I respond to email from students within one or two working days. Sometimes I respond on weekends, but I don't promise to do this.

• If school isn't in session, then I may be on vacation. (I do on rare occassions actually take vactions...) If you haven't gotten a response from me, look at my home page to see if I have posted a notice that I will be unavailable (or slow to respond) before you get too uptight about it.
  
  
• Sometimes a person has an incorrect email address listed on their email message to me. Then the message I send in reply is rejected and I have no way to tell them about it. To check this, please send yourself a message. When you receive it, "reply to" it by hitting the appropriate command in your email program. Then write yourself another test message and send it. If you don't receive this second test message, then you have a problem and you need to fix it right away. In most email programs, you can change your return address in "Preferences." If you can't figure out how to do that, you can call me during my office hours and I'll try to help you.
  
  
• Occasionally I have had a student whose address is @hotmail.com tell me that they do not receive any messages from me. I am guessing this has something to do with their spam filters, but I don't really know. If this seems to be happening to you, this is a MAJOR PROBLEM if you are one of my students. Please tell me about it and give me a way to contact you by telephone (including times when you are available). If you are one of my students in a Distance Learning class, you may need to get an email account with another provider if you can't get this fixed right away.
  
  
• If nothing seems to be working, you can always call me or come by my office hours and see me (see my home page for my contact information). If you do call me please be sure to leave a return phone number on my voicemail.
