RE: Reaction Paper #1

Initial instructions regarding Reaction Paper #1 (which is due on July 6) have been sent to your respective e-mails, except for two students, whose respective Yahoo! accounts appear to be non-existent.  My e-mail to you two bounced and I received the following messages:

Sorry, we were unable to deliver your message to the following address.

<c***_0*7@yahoo.com>:

NOTICE to these two (male) students:  Ask for your instructor's e-mail  address or contact number from one of your classmates, then send me an FYI e-mail ASAP.  Otherwise, you two will be at a disadvantage in the  coming few weeks for Reaction Paper #1.
