| In this course, we use a message list, Unix-Intro, to ask questions about homework and lecture, share information, and discuss course content. If you would raise your hand in a classroom about it, post it to this message list. Here are some guidelines. Posting a MessageTo post a new message, use the web input page, instead of your email program. You'll need to enter your CATE user name and password to reach the form. If you don't remember it, use the CATE Password Reminder page. Begin your Subject line with your 4-digit section number, such as 5395 or 6986, and then a headline for your question or comment. You and everyone else in the course will receive a copy of the message by email. ReplyingHowever, you cannot reply or send a message to the list from your email program. To reply to a previous message, use the web archive page. Lab 1A Intro PostingIn Lab #1A, you'll get practice by posting a message to this list, introducing yourself and describing your goals for this course. Then, when you receive the email copy of your post, copy and paste that into your online Lab 1A Answer Form. You may want review the instructions in Lab 1A about posting your introductory message. It requires a particular format and content for your Subject line, so make sure you followed the instructions. Contacting Your InstructorIf you need a response from your instructor, and it's the sort of question for which you'd raise your hand in a classroom, send a message to the unix-intro list, making the Subject line start with your four-digit section number, as described in the directions for Lab 1A. If the issue is personal or private, please send a separate e-mail message directly to your instructor's e-mail address. Please put only low-priority messages in a lab answer form's "Comments, Suggestions, & Requests" section. Normally, your instructor only reads them when the time comes to score everyone's labs in a batch. Therefore, please expect a response to a lab form question (if any) to take days or weeks, and that the response will only appear in the online gradebook. If you need something sooner, please use one of the approaches above.
