http://cs.umaine.edu/~chaw/cos397/ We will use the class Web site for posting assignments, readings, notes, and other material. Please
monitor it.
Class Newsgroup:
We will use the local USENET newsgroup umaine.cs.cos397 on the NNTP server
news.cs.umaine.edu for electronic discussions. If you are unfamiliar with USENET, you may find the
Web interface at http://cs.umaine.edu/~chaw/news/ useful as a quick way to get started. You may
find further information on USENET at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet. The newsgroup is
the primary forum for electronic announcements and discussions, so please monitor it regularly, and
post messages there as well. Unless there is a reason for not sharing your question or comment, please
use the newsgroup, not email, for questions and comments related to this course.
Class mailing list:
Please make sure you are on the class mailing list. A sign-up sheet is circulated at the
first class meeting. If you miss it, please contact me to get on the list. We will use this mailing list only
for urgent messages because all other messages will go on the class newsgroup. I anticipate fewer than
a dozen messages on this list over the semester.
