The class mailing list will be used to announce homework assignments and changes to the syllabus. You may also use the list (mail cs484@cs.unm.edu) to communicate with the other students in the class. However, remember that mail sent to the list will go to all of the students in the class. Leading questions (e.g., "is this a correct answer to exercise 4?") should be sent directly to the instructor, and not to the list.
