You may use your @memphis.edu account to send me via email (kkfung@memphis.edu) a passport-type headshot photo in jpg format using your UUID as the filename.
Your UUID is the part in front of the @memphis.edu. For example, my UUID is kkfung.

This photo will help me remember you in case you need a letter of reference from me in the future. Also, you will receive a 10-point credit towards your class participation. 		1/11/2015

To avoid confusion and message misplacement, the subject line of your email to me should read like this: ECON7100M50: name of your specific problem. That is your course and section plus the specific nature of your question.
I will answer only emails that observe this subject-line protocol.
Also include your full name for easier identification.		 1/7/2015

Use email for only questions that are unique to you and personal in nature or where other students may not be able to assist. Submit all other course-related questions to the Askme forum via ulogistics.org.

Watch this video on how to use the Askme forum.



Remember every question asked must start with a question word, such as how, what, why, when, where, is, are, etc.
