Managing Your MINERS Class Folder
What is the MINERS Class Folder?
The MINERS class folder has three main features:
- Students can place their assignments on a shared drive visible to only the student, TA, and instructor. There is no need to email assignments anymore.
- Instructors and TAs can place handouts and examples on the corresponding folders so students can look at them, but not edit them.
- Instructors and TAs can share data privately by creating folders outside the three standard folders (Assignments, Handouts, and Examples). Students cannot view the created folders.
How do I request a MINERS Class Folder?
Faculty Members: Please email your class CRN and UTEP Login to sysman@utep.edu. If you have TAs or additional instructors, please include their UTEP login in the email as well.
If any students register late, the TA will need to provide a list of those students' name and UTEP login.
