Why do I have to message you through the Blackboard site?
Remember to Email using the * Email * link located on the left side bar.
ANSWER:
When you use the * Email * link I get an email through your FIT email (so it does not get lost or marked as SPAM) and it indicates the Exact Course and Section in the email subject.
As many of you know, I teach a lot of courses. Usually multiple sections of the same course. This lets me know exactly who you are and where to find you.
When I search through my emails, I have a filter for these Blackboard messages. This means you get the quickest response possible.
It is best to have a way to track and organize all the messages during the semester.
If you try to send me an email in another way, you might spell my name wrong or it gets filtered into one of my folders and I may never see your message.
