Lab & Lecture Classes - Emailing everyone.

It seems that because the classes are set up with two sections, we can't email anyone in the other section if we don't know their email address. It would be nice if there was a way to access another section.

Is this a blackboard issue or the way the registrar or the department sets up the classes? I think I've seen some courses where you registered separately for the lecture (so there was only one section) and then another set of sections for the lab portion.

AND how about a Forum on BB suggestions???

Blackboard does limit the students with whom you can interact directly through Blackboard to only those also enrolled in a single section of a course. This is done in order to protect student privacy regarding courses being taken. If students wish to be able to interact with students from other sections he/she should discuss this with the instructor.
