Listserv+Postings

Postings to the Listserv
This course uses the Salem State listserv, eng323. You must join the listserv (AKA "subscribe") before you can post or receive any messages. To subscribe, click here  and fill in your name and email address (you should use your SSC email address). A confirmation email will be automatically sent to that address to complete your subscription.

Once you are subscribed, you simply send an email to eng323@elists.salemstate.edu. Everyone in the class will receive it via their email. You may also simply reply to an email message from the list and everyone will receive it.

 Think of the listserv as a virtual roundtable: you post messages based on the inquiry question for the week, as if we were all seated around a table discussing the issues. The messages come right to your email inbox and you respond to the messages (called "postings") from from within your email. You also may compose your own postings to the board so that other students can read them.

 There are a number of possible types of postings to the listserv:
 * A new message of your own: often a general question or an observation, which you hope will elicit some response. A request for help; a sharing of an item of interest.
 * A response to a posting from another participant on the listserv--a followup, a correction, an expansion, a disagreement.
 * A specific question regarding your own research or your own writing; or a helpful answer to someone else's request for help
 * A question or comment about the reading or project assignment.
 * From time to time the instructor may make requests for specific types of postings

You are required to make postings on **three** **different days** each week. (Note: I do not say "three postings per week"--postings must be done on separate days.).
