If you don't use AOL, skip to the next section. If you do use AOL, however, what follows is essential to your success in this course.
In teaching online for many years, I've found that AOL consistently causes problems. It filters out email messages sent to the entire class because the messages are incorrectly identified as spam. My conversations with AOL technical support have been unhelpful in finding a way to resolve this issue. I strongly encourage you to set up a free email account with Hotmail or Gmail and use it exclusively for this course. The added benefit is that course messages won't get lost in the midst of your other messages. Just send me a message with your new email address.
Note: if you would like a Gmail account, let me know and I can send you an invitation for an account.
