The easiest solution is to inform the students in your syllabus
that you will be emailing materials to them and that they are responsible
for their content on tests. Then test on the material. Those who follow
instructions will pass the tests, those who do not _shouldn't_!

        Today, a familiarity with electronic communications is an
essential to success in almost every field. There is every reason to
insist that students make use of this tool (and, if you feel it
appropriate to your course content, to insist that they use the Internet
for research as well), you will only be helping them to ultimately
succeed.

Subject: e-mail,handouts or both

Since all registered students here have a campus e-mail address,I began
the practice of e-mailing study and informational materials in lieu of
class handouts.I am discovering that some students do not bother to check
their e-mail and hence miss important study materials.Should I discontinue
this practice and revert to class handouts?
I would like to hear from other tipsters who have tried and have had
similar experiences.

                  "since con is the opposite of pro
                   does that mean that congress is 
                   the opposite of progress?"

        It isn't always the opposite, Michael. Look at how many of the
"pros" involved in the Enron scam are now "cons!"
