Email list
I have created an email list for our class using my internet service wrecking.org. I will use this email list to distribute announcements and other materials to you. We will use it to discuss the course readings and assignments.
As part of studying and learning to use electronic communication, everyone is required to participate in email discussions related to our classroom activities. I expect at least one substantive post every week, and preferably more. I also expect that you will reply to other’s messages and engage in conversations, as opposed to speaking into the air.
The list is private—only members of our class are allowed to post to it. The archives (link below) are password-protected. When you subscribe to the list, you will pick a password. If you forget this password, you can have the server email it to you.
To post to the list, send email to 480@wrecking.org. Please follow common principles of etiquette for email lists:
- Keep your posts on topic. Don’t be shy about posting, but avoid “me too” or similar posts with little content.
- Avoid sending email attachments to the list.
- Use an informative subject line for new threads. When participating in a thread, avoid changing the subject line.
- Reply to posts only when addressing their content. Don’t use the reply function just to save a little typing.
- Be as polite on email as you would in classroom conversations.
