How to Join the Managerial Economics Class Mailing List
I have set up an e-mail discussion group for the class. All students are expected to subscribe to the mailing list, and to check e-mail regularly.  Information on how to subscribe is included below. You may use this list for any class related activities, such as asking questions, continuing discussions from class, and instigating new discussions.  In particular, I hope that it will be useful to you as you work on homework assignments.  I will use the list to post practice problems, keep you informed about assignments, answer questions, and instigate discussion. When messages are sent to the list, all students subscribed to the list will get the message.

To subscribe to the list, send an e-mail to listserv@listserv.syr.edu with the following message:

SUB PPA723 Jan Smith

Note that this is all that need be in the body of the message, and that it must be typed in exactly as written, except, of course, that you should replace your name for Jan Smith.  When you sign up, you will receive a message with detailed instructions for participating in the mailing list.  This message will ask that you reply, so as to confirm that you intended to join the list.  It is important that you remember to reply, or else you will not be added to the list!

Also, be sure to type “SUB PPA723” not “SUB PPA 723” (that is, do not include a space between PPA and 723).  If you do add the space, listserv will attempt to add you to a list with the name “PPA” rather than “PPA723,” and you will get the following error message:

 “Your request is being forwarded to LISTSERV@YORKU.CA”

Should you receive this message, please re-send your request, being sure to type the command correctly.

A couple of technical notes.  E-mails sent to the list are sent to EVERYONE who subscribes to the list.  If you want to send a personal e-mail to a specific class member (or to me), use their e-mail address, not the list's address. The list is a good place to ask questions about homework, because everyone can see the answer.  It is not the way to let me know that you are going to miss class on Thursday.  For that you should send an e-mail to me personally.  Also, I am considered the owner of this list.  If you experience any problems, please e-mail me directly.
