Email rules

Please stick to these to make sure your email won't fall through the cracks somewhere.

Emails will typically be answered within a business day (unless announced otherwise).

• Use your official University of Illinois email account.
• Put "PHYS486"in the subject line and include some words about the subject of your email. For example: "PHYS486: question about homework". This one is important. Your email may not the filtered correctly otherwise, and get lost or ignored.
• Include your full name somewhere in your email message (for instance, as a signature).
• Please check the schedule to see when assignments are due, and the home page for any announcements.
• Check if your request has already been answered elsewhere, like the website or a massmail.
