CH334-L / / The Class E-Mail Discussion List

What's our Class Discussion List?

An e-mail discussion list (or list server) distributes e-mail to everyone on the list. Everyone in the class should sign up and will be a member of the list. (see below for sign-up instructions)

What's the benefit?

Think of the Discussion List as open office hours, always available to drop off questions or comments to me or to your fellow students. Responses from me will typically occur within the same day.

Also it's a place to post announcements like unexpected changes in the schedule.

How do I sign up?

Log on to your usual location for sending and receiving e-mail.

This should NOT be from a web page on a campus computer (where you might be reading this now), but could be from a campus computer logged in to your odin or other e-mail account.

Send an e-mail to the ListServer at the following e-mail address:

ListServ@freya.cc.pdx.edu

In the message field there should be only one line:

subscribe CH334-L your real name

For example, when I signed on, I wrote:

subscribe CH334-L Carl C. Wamser

The ListServer will automatically identify your e-mail address based on where you send the message from, so make sure you send the above message from the address where you want to receive e-mails. If you have any questions, the computer room assistants can help you.

You should receive an e-mail message back within a day confirming that you have been added to the list, along with a summary of instructions for proper use of the list.

Should I send e-mail to Dr. Wamser or to the Discussion List?

to Dr. Wamser: WamserC@pdx.edu

to the List: CH334-L@freya.cc.pdx.edu

If your message is private or could only be of interest to you, send an e-mail to me.

If your message could be of interest to another member of the class, I strongly encourage you to post it to the list. If it is a question for me, I will answer it on the list, and everyone will have the benefit of your message, and my answer. I encourage you to imagine that nearly anything of interest to you as a student in this class probably is of interest to someone else in the class.

Depending on the traffic on the ListServer and the nature of the messages, I may not respond to all messages that appear there. I encourage other class members to contribute answers, even if I was the one asked the question.
