Classes cancelled lastweek of October

Dear Q600 students:

As you know, next week we have three days of recess (Thursday, October 31; Friday, November 1; and Saturday, November 2) during which all classes are cancelled.

I tried to find a suitable time slot for a make-up class for my Thursday class, but that was not possible. In order to deliver the same amount of material to all my sections, I will have to cancel my Tuesday (October 29) and Wednesday classes (October 30), too.

I will, however, be available in my main office (DSB-425) on Tuesday and Wednesday, in case you want to see me for consultation.

Students with last name "Wang"

I have many students whose last names are "Wang". Unfortunately, some of these students are not using their "official" first names in their Connect assignments. This makes it impossible for us to determine who-is-who when recording their marks.

If your last name is Wang, please send me an e-mail <parlar@mcmaster.ca> with a cc: to <guoh24@mcmaster.ca> and provide the following information:

(1) Your official first name,
(2) Your "English" name,
(3) Your student number,
(4) Your section number.

Also, please, from now on,
(5) use your official name on the Connect assignment web site.

Mahmut Parlar

E-mails from/to Avenue accounts

Dear Q600 students;

A few days ago one of your classmates sent me an e-mail from his Avenue account. When I replied to his e-mail, I was informed (by the system) that my e-mail did not reach him.

I would strongly advise you to use your McMaster accounts (.mcmaster.ca) when corresponding with me.
