Note that you don't have to check email for this online class. Simply follow the instructions on our Web site. If you want, you can post messages to this group for help and/or advice, but you don't have to -- this will allow you to focus on the readings and exercises instead of being forced to keep track of email flowing through this group. NOTE: You will have to post 3 "roll call" emails to our class group. Simply follow the instructions on our Web site, and you will be told when to post your roll call messages to this group. WARNING: KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE CLOCK AS YOU TAKE THIS CLASS -- IT'S EASY TO "FALL BEHIND" IN AN ONLINE CLASS IF YOU FORGET TO KEEP TRACK OF TIME WHEN READING OR DOING EXERCISES! **** TIP **** IF YOUR EMAIL IS SLUGGISH, OR SLOW, YOU CAN ALWAYS POST YOUR ROLL CALL MESSAGES THROUGH THE WEB INTERFACE FOR THIS YAHOO GROUP: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MT35101/ **** END TIP **** -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Aaron E.
