YOUR YAHOO GROUP





In order to participate in the discussion group, each person in the course must register with Yahoo.com and subscribe to the appropriate group. This is NOT optional.

Take the following steps:
  1. REGISTER: If you are already a member of Yahoo Groups, go to step 2. Otherwise, go to http://groups.yahoo.com . On your first visit you will be asked to register with Yahoo. There will be an electronic form to fill out, asking you to provide a screen name, your own choice of a secret password, and an email address. As an email address, you can use your CSUN address, or a private email address, or the email address that Yahoo gives you automatically when you register. Your choice. Beware the little checked box in which you agree to receive all sorts of spam from their advertisers. As part of the registration, you get a free yahoo.com email address. Use it or not, as you please.

  2. SUBSCRIBE:After registering at Yahoo.com, send an email to the group asking to subscribe:

    If you are in the 8:00 section, send the email to:
    Myth-Adams-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

    If you are in the 9:00 section, send the email to:
    Myth-Adams-2-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

    If you are in the 12:00 section, send the email to:
    Myth-Adams-3-subscribe@yahoogroups.com



    Do not bother with a subject word, unless you want to put in "subscribe", but that is not necessary for the process. Do not put anything in the message portion of the email. It will not be read.

    You can also register by going directly to the correct group by clicking the appropriate button below in (4.). There will be a "JOIN" button in the upper right corner of the screen when you get to the correct group.


  3. The professor will process your subscription request, and you will (perhaps) receive back an email telling you that you are now a member of the group. This can take a day or so.

  4. Begin (a) reading the messages on the group that other people are posting. You get to the messages by going to:

8:00 section
or
9:00 section
or
12:00 section


(You can click on one of the months of the calendar toward the bottom of the screen to start the list of messages; each message has a separate number.)

(b) responding to the messages of other students, by clicking on the "Reply" button at the bottom of the message;
(c) starting new topics yourself, by clicking on the "Post" word at the left of the screen under "Messages".
