How do I contact a specific member of the UTM Faculty?

UTM OpenCourseWare is intended as a publication of UTM course materials, not as an interactive experience with UTM faculty. UTM OpenCourseWare does not offer users the opportunity for direct contact with UTM faculty. It provides the content of - but is not a substitute for - an UTM education. Inquiries related to specific course materials will be forwarded to the UTM faculty member associated with that course for their consideration. However due to the tremendous volume of email inquiries received it is unlikely he or she will be able to respond personally.
