FIRST-TIME SIGNON

I suggest you use as your sign-on IDyour first initial and your last name. My sign-on ID is DDavis (for Doug Davis).

The sign-on ID is CASE SENSITIVE. My sign-on ID is DDavis; all lower case, as ddavis, will NOT work.

There is a weekly requirement to post a question or an answer or a comment on the "current forum". The first deadline is noon on Friday, January 28. After that, each week's deadline is noon on Friday. Please do not wait until late Friday morning to make a posting. These weekly bulletin board postings will be normalized to 100 points and count the same as one hour exam. I expect my accounting of these postings to be a continual nightmare so please check on the postings outside my office door which will show what I have recorded for you. I expect to update my records about every two weeks.

I expect this bulletin board to be useful. Please give me lots of feedback concerning this.
