Not only professors, but also assistants often answer our email about

mostly the lecture notes and/or additional and/or homework material.

All of our university's math classes distribute the home assignments,
grades and all sorts of info via mailing list and in no other way (!).
However, the computer farms are open 24/6, so many students don't have
a PC of theirs.
