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 EL1 [date of class you are absent] Absent

For example:

Subject: Robinson  EL1 September 21  Absent

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

Email me with comments, criticisms, questions, problems.


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.

To set up this account, go here.

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 must have at least two ISPs for this course.

4. Until this Fall we have had a free MSU-ISP, dialup connection to the Internet, for all students. As a result of the State of NJ's drastic budget cuts we no longer have it.

You will  need to use your NETID to log into these data bases if you are not on campus -- i.e., on the Internet through Montclair State University. Instructions are here.

5. 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  EL1   date assignment is due

For example, if your last name is Cholmondeley and your are emailing me the assignment for January 15,

                    Subj: Cholmondeley  EL1  Sep. 15 [or, 9/15, etc.]

Note: NO YEAR! Please do not put the YEAR in your subject line!

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