Questions and Answers

Often a student will ask a question that provokes an answer of use to other students. When this happens, in addition to answering the student directly, we will post the question and answer on the Q & A page. Urgent answers will also be sent to the course mailing list.

Email

We will regularly send course-related email to your department Unix account. You are responsible for reading email on this account at least once per day during the week. If it is not convenient for you to read email on this account you are responsible for forwarding your email to a more convenient location.

Due to the vast amounts of spam from networked email providers like hotmail, yahoo, etc., if you send email from one of these providers, we can't guarantee that we'll read it quickly or notice it. For fast responses, please send email directly from an Iowa State computer.
