CLASS NOTICES  
Updated  
  • Please browse through and familiarize yourself with the entire syllabus!
    Please remember to check these notices at least twice a week, because changes are always possible!
    Please remember that online class meetings WILL NOT BE AFFECTED by bad weather.



  • UPDATE ON TEXTBOOK AVAILABILITY:
    As of January 29, I have again been reassured by a WSU official (DGCE office) that "I've been trying to get these books" and that they are sorry for the delay.
    In the meantime, please make the best use of the online visuals and chapter outlines, both of which can now be accessed by links in the upper left corner of your syllabus (please make sure you have the most recent version).


  • If you need assistance with the Lockdown Browser (or any other computer issue):
    1. Please try again, making sure that you have turned off ALL OTHER applications (or shut your computer completely, then start it up WITHOUT turning on any browser except the Lockdown Browser).
    2. You may contact the IT Help Desk at 508-929-8856 or helpdesk@worcester.edu
    They are located on the Third floor of the Library Building on the WSU campus.


  • During part of the Jan. 25 class, the slides didn't keep pace with the lecture itself.
    1. If this ever happens again, please call it to my attention sooner (and make sure your midrophone is ON).
    2. You can review all the visuals that you may have missed by going to the Syllabus and clicking the "Visual Links" in the upper left corner.

  • The textbook is required, and reading it carefully is important (essential) to doing well in the course.
    I was assured that an online version of the text will be supplied to students in the course; please check with the school officials who enrolled you in this course.
