The Course Google Group
We will be setting up the course mailing list as a Google Group:
Subscription
- Access the Course Google Group.
- If you already have a Gmail account, please login.
- If you do not have a Gmail account, create an account for yourself. You can delete this account at the end of the course.
- Follow the link: Join this group
- Do not change your preferences. It is important that you get announcements timely.
- As a "Nickname" please use your full name. Otherwise I cannot determine whether you are a student in the class. This will cause you to be unsubscribed.
- Click on the button Join this group
- Change your Gmail settings to receive mail to the account you use most regularily.
- If your preferred e-mail account is Gmail, you don't need to do anything.
- Otherwise: click on My Account in the top-menu
- Click on Gmail -> settings
- Click on the tab Forwarding and POP/IMAP
- Set your preferences to forward to your favorite e-mail address.
- Click on Save changes
- From a different account, send a test mail to your Gmail address and confirm that it gets forwarded to where you want to receive your mail.
Posting
After some days, I will set subscriptions to be allowed by invitation only. Then I will remove all subscribers who are not students of the course. After this, everyone who is a member of the group will be able to post.
Trouble
If you have trouble with this process, please ask a classmate or a friend for help. Only if you have seriously tried and for some reason still can't subscribe, see me after class on Thursday.
