CSEP 521 E-mail Announcements
We will periodically send out important information via email to the course email group. To subscribe to the group, you should visit the list home page,
http://mailman.cs.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/csep521 to add yourself, or you can use the email interface to subscribe. Email to csep521-request@cs with the word "help" in the subject will return a message listing all of the email command options.
You can also vist the list archives by clicking on the very first URL on the list "home page", or by clicking here.
Please note that we will use this group as an announcement list only; if you have a homework question or some other topic that you'd like to discuss with your fellow students, do so on the course message board (described below).
