• Class Email Discussion List
  The University provides an email list including the campus email address of each student in the class. I will use it to communicate with you as needed between class meetings so be sure that you have set up the forwarding as necessary to make sure that messages sent to your "csupomona.edu" address actually get to you.
  
  I encourage you also to use the email list to broadcast questions and comments related to the course, particularly those related to homework problems and textbook readings. I will monitor the discussion and contribute myself when I feel it might be useful.
  
  To send messages to the list, address them to phy13201@csupomona.edu
• College of Science Emergency Procedures
  All students are responsible for being aware of these Emergency Procedures.
  Please take the time to familiarize yourself with them.
