Advertising Study: Can Undergrad Chemistry Courses be Posted on PF?

[mind]

Hi,

is there a place on PF where one can post calls for undergraduate chemistry courses? I checked - admittedly, briefly - guidelines and forums, but couldn't find anything against it, but on the other hand, I do not want to be rude and post something that is against the spirit of the site.

Thanks!

This may be due to a language issue and you've used some lingo I'm not aware of, but what do you mean "post calls"?

 

[mind]

To post calls = to post invitations, to place on the forum the information about the course and the contact details for further inquiries.

Basically, I'm asking whether I can start a thread and post an advertisement for an undergraduate course in chemistry...

 

[JaredJames]

That would be up to Greg.

I would point out though that the rules do specify no advertising.

I agree about asking Greg about this since I do know there's a rule about making "personal gains" (money) using Physicsforums.

But we do have https://www.physicsforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=139"

 

[mind]

I hope you don't mind posting the post itself below. I've marked with XXXX parts that could be understood as advertising.

Personally, I do not gain anything from this. The reason for posting this is that I've studied at this University and I'd love to see more "westerners" study in this - otherwise famous - Japanese University.

So, can I post this, or should I forget about it?

Thanks again!
We are writing this mail to ask you a favor, on behalf of the Department
of Chemistry, XXXX University. We are opening an undergraduate course
in English in October 2011. The program is called Advanced Molecular
Chemistry Course, and this program provides you the basic concepts and
skills in chemistry and the advanced topics in materials sciences. All
the scientific lectures will be given in English, although we prepare
intensive Japanese language classes.

This is one of the XXXX program by the Japanese government. There are
some scholarships along this program. The application deadline is June
30 (Thu.), 2011.
You can find the details in this address below.

I don't think that would be appropriate here.

But as above, it comes down to Greg.
