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 VN [date of class you are absent] Absent

For example:

Subject: Robinson  VN 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."

 

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. You MUST set up the MSU ISP on your home/dorm computer. It is "free" too (already paid for).

To set up the MSU ISP, go here.

You will need to use the MSU ISP to access some of the databases we will use in this course.

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  VN   date assignment is due

For example, if your last name is Robertson and your are emailing me the assignment for September 23

                    Subj: Robertson VN  Sep. 23 [or, 9/23, etc.]

[NOTE: Do NOT type 'Subj:'. This will be on your email client.]

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