FW: sending me e-mail - 3rd time

[Zellmer, Robert]

Twice, I've sent the following instructions for how to contact me
via e-mail, and what information you should include.  I'm hoping
the 3rd time is the charm.

>From this point on, if you don't send things as outlined with the
proper info, I may not answer your e-mail, or it could be delayed.
I've got almost 700 students and how I answer certain questions
depends on me having the proper information.  This includes
whether you're in my MWF or TR lectures.

Subject: FW: sending me e-mail

I sent the following e-mail the day before classes started but a number
of you aren't following the instructions.  Please pay attention to this.  It
will be a big help to me and allow me to help you faster.

Many of you are sending e-mails to the Chem1220 e-mail list I use to
send e-mails to the whole class.  Please don't do this.  Send them to my
zellmer.1 at osu.edu<mailto:zellmer.1 at osu.edu> account.

Also, please send e-mails to my zellmer.1 at osu.edu<mailto:zellmer.1 at osu.edu> account and not through
Carmen.    It's easier for me to keep track of things and will make sure I get
them.  The subject line in the e-mails sent via Carmen are useless.

If you don't hear from me in about 1-2 days please resend the message and
indicate you've sent it previously.  I'm getting a lot of COVID related e-mails
right now so I may miss an e-mail now and then.

You can ask me lab questions and I will attempt to answer them.  However,
sending them to the supervisor accounts means another set of eyes looking at
e-mails.  This is probably a better option when asking about administrative
things (such as missing lab, not having a manual, having problems with
the on-line manual, due dates, etc.).

Make sure you include the information in red in the text below.

Subject: sending me e-mail

Please read the instructions below and follow this concerning e-mailing me.

Please do NOT send me e-mail from Canvas, or if you do, include your
name.#.  It appears I'm getting e-mail sent from Carmen but when
I reply using my e-mail program I'm not sure if it makes it back to people.
It also makes it difficult to track down e-mails based on a person's name or
name.#.  Also, the subject lines in e-mail coming via Carmen are pretty much
worthless.  Furthermore, if it's anything that might be considered private I
have to abide by FERPA regulations and can only reply directly to a
name.# account.

I don't send e-mail from Canvas (Carmen) or generally leave announcements
on Carmen.  If someone isn't checking Carmen for messages they may not see
them.  If someone doesn't have their notifications set correctly they won't get
messages or announcements left on Carmen via e-mail.  This is why I use
regular e-mail.

I create an e-mail list using name.#@osu.edu<mailto:name.#@osu.edu> provided by the university
via SIS (essentially Buckeyelink).  That's the chem1220 list you see when I
send e-mail to the class.

If you want to send an e-mail to me do NOT send it to or reply to the e-mail
list (chem1220) I use for sending e-mails to the class.   I will get it eventually
but it's possible it could go through to the entire class.   To send me an e-mail
use the following address,

zellmer.1 at osu.edu<mailto:zellmer.1 at osuedu>

You should send e-mail to the following address if it's a lab question
(although I will also help with lab questions).  All lab supervisors will
see it and you might get faster service.

chemlabsupervisor at chemistry.ohio-state.edu<mailto:chemlabsupervisor at chemistry.ohio-state.edu>

I'm teaching two 1220 sections and 1250 this semester.  I get a lot of
e-mails.  To make it easier for me to quickly answer your questions please
let me know which class you are in and include the information I've asked
for below.

When sending me an e-mail make the subject line look something like:

Chem 1220 - "rest of subject"


Examples:

Subject:   Chem 1220 - Help with SOL exp.

Subject:   Chem 1220 - Help with Homework Problem 13.1


You should also include whether you're in the M,W,F or T,R lecture section.
This can be in the subject line or body of the e-mail.

If it relates to recitation you must indicate the day/time of your recitation
and your recitation TA's name.

If it relates to lab you must indicate which experiment, day/time of your
lab and your lab TA.  If you're sending something to the lab supervisor
account also include your Lecturer's name.

Finally, every now and then I accidentally send something from my personal
account.   Don't reply to that account since I don't check it as often as I do
my OSU account.   Always send e-mails to me at my OSU e-mail address
listed above.

Thanks,

Dr. Zellmer
