Purpose The main purpose is to enhance (add
value to) the exchange of information between Instructor and Student without creating extra work for ourselves – i.e., HTML maintenance.
Make possible a number of enhancements (add more value): capturing e-mail addresses, distributing individual grades, etc. without creating extra work – i.e., make course administration more routine.

How it Works -- Basic Concept
Students may retrieve, print, view any file in the server’s folder/file structure from any browser. (This is the easiest way to administer files.)
Students may retrieve, print, view and files on the server by week. (85-95% of the 349 and 111 students asked for this feature.)
This is what adds the value to what we are already doing.

Answers to FAQ’s? URL? – cenotes.tamu.edu Netscape display looks “funny?” Use IE5. Yes, you can see thru the TAMU Firewall. Why can’t I get my grades.
You have to have registered with the correct SID for this to work.
Sometimes grade e-mails with the “tamu.edu” tag are treated as “spam” by YAHOO and HOTMAIL
Make sure your mailbox has enough space to receive messages.
Bad luck, life is not always fair.
