Email me here if you have any questions, comments, criticisms, or problems.

(NOTE: Some of my web pages have my old email address on them -- furrg@ALPHA.montclair.edu. This email address does not work any more! Do not email me at 'ALPHA'.)

NOTE: You CANNOT print out the readings for our course on MSU Computer Lab computers! This would tie up the computers and printers for hours, and consume tens of thousands of pages.
Print out the readings on your own computer. You will need to buy your own paper and ink cartridges. This is still far less expensive than buying the books.

** I will post  the assignments at the end of the previous class, so you can do them on time. When you have done an assignment, you can delete the message I sent you giving you that assignment, because you'll always be able to find it here if you should ever want it again.

Email me with comments, criticisms, questions, problems.


How To Inform Me of Your Absence (preferably beforehand, but no later than the same day).

Email me at furrg - AT - mail.montclair.edu, with the following Subject line:

Lastname ar [date of class you are absent] Absent

For example:

Subject: Robinson  ARX February 22  Absent

That way I'll be able to recognize, file, and later find, your email, and so give you credit for an "excused absence."

PLEASE NOTE:

1. You must have at least two e-mail addresses for this course. 

2. You MUST use the MSU mail email account for this course. It is "free" -- i.e. you have already paid for it in your tuition.

NOTE: To use your MSU email, go to http://webmail.montclair.edu

You also need a second email account, for emergency use only, in case the MSU mail server breaks down. If you don't have one already, you can get free email.

To get  free web-based e-mail, go to one of these two indexes:

3. You will also need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader on your home/dorm computer. (It is already on all the computer lab computers at MSU). Download it from this page.

Be sure to "send a copy to yourself" of ALL your homework assignments!

IMPORTANT:   Whenever you email me, use the proper subject line:

                   Subj: Yourlastname  ARX date assignment is due.

For example, if your last name is 'Robertson' and your are emailing me the assignment for the class on February 22,

                    Subj: Robertson  ARX  February 22  [or, 2/22, or Feb 22, etc.]

There MUST be a space before and after the ARX, and no space between them.

This is so I can search for, and sort, them efficiently.

If you don't, I'll forward your e-mail right back to you.
