http://cs.umaine.edu/~chaw/cos497/ 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.cos497 on the NNTP
(net news) server news.cs.umaine.edu for electronic discussions. The Web interface at
http://cs.umaine.edu/~chaw/news/ provides convenient access. Some further, more general,
information on USENET appears 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 a question or comment, please use thenewsgroup, not email, for questions and comments related to this course.
Class mailing list:
Please make sure you are on the class mailing list. We will use the email addresses
in the university’s registration records (MaineStreet) for the class mailing list. Please make sure your
email address there is current and monitored. 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.
