NOTE: When needed, the instructor will communicate with the students using their TTU email addresses. At the beginning of the semester, the instructor will send out a message to confirm the students' email addresses and to inform about Webwork. If a student does not receive any messages by the time of the second class, he/she must contact the instructor immediately.
