As announced in class TEST #3 WILL NOT TAKE PLACE AS SCHEDULED. I want to try to get everything covered so the third test can take place before spring break but I do not know if that will be possible. When I know when we will finish the material I will announce the new date.

Reminder: Test #3 will cover chapters 3 & 8 and the extra material on word processing.

Homework assignment 7 will not be due on the March 11 as I have not done the demo for that assignment yet. I will be doing the demos for assignments 7 & 8 on thursday March 11. The new due date for assignment 7 is thursday March 18. The due date for assignment 8 is unchanged.

As announced in class test #2 will take place on Thursday, March 4.

Reminder: Test #2 will cover chapters 4, 5, 6 & 7 with 70% of the test coming from chapters 4 and 7, 30% from chapters 5 and 6.

We are on schedule with the homework with assignments 5 and 6 due on the scheduled dates shown in the syllabus.

As announced in class test #2 WILL NOT TAKE PLACE on the date shown in the syllabus. We are about a week behind schedule and are currently covering the chapter 7 material. I anticipate three more lectures before test #2 - the actual date will be announced here when I am sure when we'll finish the materisl.

We ARE ON SCHEDULE with the homework with assignments 5 and 6 due on the scheduled dates shown in the syllabus.

1) You must have a personal student account to use the PC computers in the UNLV public labs and classrooms. The guest accounts are set for specific classrooms and are active for the first two weeks of the semester only.

Incoming freshman students should have had their accounts assigned to them during orientation (It is the same user name and password as your email account). If you do not have an account, you can get one at the Student Help Desk on the second floor of the Student Union. It is free but you will need to provide a photo ID and proof of enrollment to get the account.

2) Printing is no longer free in the classrooms. You will be charged the same rate for printing in the classrooms and the public labs. That rate is now 3 cents per page for black and white prints and 40 cents per page for color.

3) Due to the use of a new textbook this semester I am reorganizing and redesigning this course. One major result of this work is that the syllabus is, and will remain, a "work in progress" during the semester. You can expect many changes to it during the semester. As it stands now everything in section 1 is fixed except the date of the first exam, which may change based on how the first weeks of the semester progress.
