The listserv for

THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATION, MEDIA AND THEATRE (C.M.T.)

Revised November 13, 2006

 


PURPOSE OF THE LIST

To exchange information pertaining to Department of CMT business and the disciplines of communication, media and theatre.

 

HOW TO WRITE TO THE LIST

Address your email message to:  cmt-l@neiu.edu


MOST IMPORTANT TIPS

Being on the list means that you get all the messages from the list. Not all of them will be of interest to you. WHEN YOU SEE A MESSAGE FROM THE LIST IN YOUR INBOX ON A SUBJECT YOU AREN'T INTERESTED IN, JUST DELETE IT. YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ IT.

 

If you read an email that came from the list and wish to write back only to the person who sent it, DO NOT HIT YOUR REPLY BUTTON. IF YOU DO, EVERYONE ON THE LIST WILL GET A COPY OF YOUR EMAIL. Instead, identify the sender's email address and send a new email message to that address. Only hit reply if you wish to participate in a thread of discussion open to all on the list.


LIST ETIQUETTE

1.
Use the list only for topics pertaining to department business or to the general subjects 
    of communication, media and theatre.

2. Feel free to attack ideas--not people.

3. Practice the constructive communication skills taught in the Department of CMT courses.

4. When a thread of discussion evolves to the point that it is of interest to only two or three people, the discussion thread should not continue on list but be continued off the list by those who remain interested.


EXAMPLES OF HOW THE LIST HAS BEEN USED

1. To announce CMT department class offerings long before the school publishes the course schedule.

2. To lobby the chair and faculty to offer particular courses.

3. To share info on jobs in communication, media and theatre.

4. To debate issues related to any aspect of communication, media and theatre.

5. To announce course cancellations, additions, time changes and the like.

6. To announce events within the Department of CMT.

7. To offer suggestions, make requests, analyze problems and voice concerns related to
    the Department of CMT.
