Email Access

• Because you have signed up for a PCM course, you must treat your access to email and the Internet as seriously as if you were doing your job over email and the Internet. You'll need this access a minimum of three times a week and likely for about three hours at a time.
  
  
• You must use an individual email account, not shared with anyone else. If you don't have an individual email account, please get one; they are available for free in various places such as http://www.yahoo.com/ or http://www.netscape.com/, just to name a few.
  
  
• When you send me email messages, your first and last name must be included somewhere in the message and the subject line must include MATD 0370; it should also include some sort of summary of the problem as well, perhaps something like:
  MATD 0370: Need help with problem 7.
  Your first and last name do not have to appear in the return address, but if they don't, or if you use an "alias" there, then your full name must be somewhere in the message.
  
  
• If your email address quits working for any reason (you change Internet providers or your email box gets full, for example) you must fix the problem right away. If you need for me to use a different email address for you, then email me right away from that new address and tell me that. (Be sure to include your full name.) You are responsible for providing me with ongoing access to a working email address for you and for checking those messages at least three times a week.
  
  
• If you don't get a message from me during the first and second weeks of class, something is wrong and you must find out what is going on right away. Also, if you email me and don't hear back from me within 2 or 3 days, you need to look into this as well. Please go here for some possible problems that could cause this. (Notice that I only promise quick responses during the semester; if you email me before the beginning of the course, I will respond to you, but I may be on vacation, so the responses may not necessarily be very prompt.)
  
  
• If you have computer problems and are using the Learning Lab for the software, you must still continue to check your email from the Lab. If you don't know how to do that, ask me and I can give you some ideas on how to check with you email provider for webmail access on your account or suggest how to get another (free) account that does allow webmail access.

• I will assume that whoever is reading your email has your permission to be receiving information about your performance in the course. If you don't want others reading that (I know I wouldn't) then don't give them your password to your email account.
