Teach-net is a moderated electronic mail forum for exchanging information, advice, tips, and general talk concerning teaching at Berkeley. Subscription is restricted to Berkeley faculty and staff.
What can I talk about on Teach-net?
Anything you wish that is related to teaching, especially at Berkeley. Perhaps you have a question about some aspect of teaching. Perhaps you have a particular problem and you would like to hear from colleagues who have had similar problems. Perhaps you have a tip you would like to share, or an article about teaching you think your Berkeley colleagues would find interesting. These are just some of the uses to which you might put this email forum.
How do I use Teach-net?
If you have a question, a comment, or a tip, simply send it via email to
and all subscribers will receive a copy of your message. Be careful when using the REPLY function to reply to teach-net mail, since this will generally send your reply back to the whole mailing list. If you think the information would be useful to the members at large, however, then do respond to teach-net. If you want to talk to just one subscriber, you should use that individual's own email address, not teach-net.
How do I subscribe? How do I unsubscribe?
If you're interested in becoming a subscriber simply send an email request to:
Your subject line should be blank and the body of your message should contain:
subscribe teach-net
If you wish your name to be removed from the mailing list, send a request to the above email address with the following text in the body of your email:

What if I have more questions?
The teach-net mailing list is administered by the Assistant Vice Provost's Office, Division of Undergraduate Education. You should send all requests for information and administrative business (requests to manually subscribe or manually unsubscribe, changes of address, comments on how the list is handled, etc.) to Steve Tollefson.
Is there a human I can talk to?
