How is communication done in CHEM131/CHEM132?
·
Ok. I’m old fashion. I like to use
email: hayesr
(at) andrews.edu. That is the best
way to contact me outside of class time.
My office phone is probably the second best way to contact me.
How will information be communicated outside
of class time?
·
The instructor
will email you or post in Moodle.
Can the instructor use my Gmail, Hotmail, or
yahoo account?
·
No.
·
You are an
Andrews University student and this is your primary job function. You are given an AU email ID so the
university can effectively communicate with you. Thus, I prefer to just keep track of
just your AU email address. There
are too many students to keep track of exceptions.
·
However, you
can have all of your Andrews.edu email forwarded to your favorite account. Follow this link to the Computer User Services and click
on “mail forwarding management”. You will need your AU ID and Password to
do this.
·
This is very nice of AU to offer this option, but you
need to periodically make sure the link doesn’t break (sometimes
does…).
·
Gmail/Yahoo Accounts: add hayesr@andrews.edu to your contact
list or address list. You should do this for all your instructors.
How do I check do see if emails are getting
caught in the AU spam filter?
·
Kudos to AU for
allowing us to make changes to our spam filter settings and take a glimpse at
emails that are quarantined by this system.
·
Go to the AU Spam Filter webpage and log in
with your AU ID and Password. There
is a good chance a missing email might be found there!
·
You can even set
up an RSS feed to notify you every time an email is caught by the spam
filter. Look under the
“Preferences” menu item and select RSS feed on the left column
menu. It will give you an alert
email every time something is caught.
I use this so I will not miss any emails from my students!
