[nabs-l] Questions to ask when looking to higher a driver.

Mon Apr 6 03:13:05 UTC 2009

I am not sure how standard this is, but my school sets up lists for each
class which anyone in the class can email.  for example: a music performance
class number 101 section 01 in the fall of 09 would be,
09fa-mup-101-01 at school.edu.  I would imagine that even if the students
cannot use it i would think the professor can, this might be a good method
of asking the whole cvlass without having to get names.
