The course newsgroup can be found at uq.itee.comp3301 (we use the same newsgroup for the shadow course too). There are two methods of accessing the newsgroup:
- Through my.UQ myNewsgroups (note: no threading is available)
- In your own client through sslnews
If you have a newsreader on your machine (Thunderbird, mutt, pan, ...) you can use sslnews to access the EAIT newsgroups.
