Warning: Many students, especially those who appear to need help, have not yet enabled their email addresses at UB. Before going any farther, make sure you have your email enabled. Apparently you can send email from your account, even if you havent enabled it. However, if your account is not enabled, and if you email the instructors, when we reply to your message, it bounces back to us as not deliverable since you have not yet enabled your email. So, if you have emailed to us, and have not gotten an answer, this is a likely reason. On UBLearns for our class, go to the External Links area. We have a link that points you to where you can enable your UB email account. DO IT. EVERYONE, pick a partner in the lab. Exchange email addresses, and send each other email. Then go to your UB email account and READ this mail. Make sure you can read and receive email in your UB email account. If you dont receive this email, make sure your email account is enabled, and try again. If this continues to NOT work, go to the CIT help desk in The Computing Center, near Room 215.
