Students can send emails to their professor within a WeBWorK problem.  The default setting is to email any member of the WeBWorK course that is at or above a TA level, including all professors and admins.  We've set up WeBWorK so that some members of the Math/Stat and ITS departments are administrators and can assist with management of the course.  If a student emails a question, the email goes to the professor and all the administrators of WeBWorK.  To limit the recipients of these emails, adjust the settings per the instructions below.

  • Log into your WeBWorK course.
  • Click Course Configuration (left menu) → E-mail tab
  • Change Permission levels for receiving feedback email to the desired roles.
  • If desired, set Additional addresses for receiving feedback email to a specific email address.  If you want the email to go to several people, separate the email addresses by commas.
