E-Mail

[Revised: July 17, 2005]
 

Communication occurs within the Web-CT environment as much as possible.  This means that students send course-related e-mail within Web-CT.  If the student submits papers and projects, he or she will attach them to an e-mail message within Web-CT as well.

Where is Web-CT E-Mail?

Once the student enters the course in Web-CT, he or she should find a link to an e-mail option.   In order to e-mail me, click on the e-mail button.  A new window will open up for e-mailing.  Click on "Compose Mail Message."  Next to the field called "Send to" click "Browse."  An address book appears with all the e-mail addresses of all the people in the course -- including me.  My name will be at the top of the page.

Be aware that you cannot e-mail me from outside of Web-CT to my address that is located inside Web-CT.

Please send me a message once you gain access to course.  I will use that message as an initial roll call.

PLEASE: Students should thoroughly identify themselves when communicating with me.  I may "know" you in one environment (e.g., my office), but not recognize you in another (e.g., cyber-space).  Include your name and the class you are registered for on all messages sent to the professor.  This is especially important when e-mailing to my home or office address.  It is equally important to carefully identify yourself early in the semester.

PLEASE:  

When replying to messages I send you, use the "Quote" option.  This will include my message below the message you send me.
