Read Handout 2 carefully on who is supposed to receive your email and other guidelines.

• Updated 4/19; Originally 4/18 Course Web-page access At this time (4/19;15:20) the redirects are working fine. Access to the course web-page has been available since Friday Apr 15. However redirects might not be (and as of now, are not) working properly. The purpose of Handout 0 (item 4) was to alert you on this possibility (redirects not working) and how one can still access the operable course web-page. So just replace www.cs or cs with web and you will have access to the course web-page.
