Exercise One

This quarter we're going to do some of the assignments and tests online, through blackboard.com.

We will make blackboard accounts in class during week one. If you haven't made your blackboard account yet, please create the account now (follow this link for instructions).

Once you're enrolled, and you've gone to the main MW111 page, click on the Assignments button. This will take you to a page that says "Week Two Survey Assignment." Please click on that link, and complete the survey assignment.

When you've completed the survey, make sure you click the "Submit Answers" button at the bottom of the page. Once you've done that, the survey results will be sent to me. However, make sure you don't click that button until you are ready, because once you submit the answers to me, you won't be able to retake the survey or change your answers.

If you have any questions, just let me know. Thanks!

Make sure you bring a floppy disk to class with you on Week 2. You might want to save your work to bring home.
