If you aren't receiving email from me:

As a general rule, I respond to email from students within one working day. Sometimes I respond on weekends, but please don't count on that.

If school isn't in session, then I may be on vacation. Look at my office hours page to see if this is one of the times I said I wouldn't be available by email.

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, then "reply to" it by hitting the appropriate command in your email program. Then write yourself a test message. Then send it. If you don't receive this second test message, then you have a problem and you must 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.

My students and I have had many problems with Hotmail email addresses. I recommend that you obtain a different email account to use for school.
