This assignment must be completed, saved on your computer's hard disk or on a floppy disk or memory stick, and submitted to the WEBCT Assignment Dropbox by the deadline posted on the Schedule and Assignments Page.    The main purposes of the assignment are to make sure that everyone is signed up for our class WEBCT, has checked their student directory information and updated their email address, and is familiar with the Department Home Page and plagiarism policy.

The first step is to make sure you have a valid Rutgers computer username and password.  If you had one in the past and remember it, it should still be the same.  If you do not have an account, you need to open a Rutgers computer account.   As a Rutgers Camden student, your account will be on the clam computer, and you will have a username and password.  Your email address will be username@camden.rutgers.edu. If you have a problem with your clam account, you need to get help at the computer center in the Business and Science Building.  None of your professors have the access needed to help with accounts.
Once you have a valid username and password, you should use it to make sure you are enrolled in the WEBCT home page for your course.  To do this, go to https://webct.rutgers.edu.  Click on "log into my WEBCT" and enter your clam username and password.  NOTE:  The WEBCT database is normally updated overnight.  If you just opened your account, it may take a day or even two for you to be entered in the WEBCT data base.  If you are not entered in a day or two email me and I'll try to help.  I can enroll people in my course, but you have to set up your own WEBCT account first.

Once you succeed in logging into WEBCT, you will be on your WEBCT home page.  You will see the courses in which you are enrolled.   If you enrolled in one of my classes and had a valid username at the time, it will probably already be there.  If it is not, check with me so I can add you to the WEBCT (assuming you are properly enrolled with the Registrar's Office).

Now go to https:www.acs.rutgers.edu/studentdir and check to make sure that your student directory information is up-to-date.  All students in my classes will be automatically enrolled on the class mailing lists at their clam address (or whatever address is listed in their online directory information).  If you regularly read your clam email, there is nothing else to do.  However, many or most students use other email addresses regularly and do not check their clam mail.  If this is the case with you, you should arrange to have your clam mail forwarded to the other account or go to https:www.acs.rutgers.edu/studentdir and change your listed email address to the one you want. This is important not only for my classes, but also for email that the college administration sends to all students or for specific emails that may be sent to you from college officials. 

Now you are ready to prepare this assignment to hand in.  To do this, you must open it in your word processor.  You may be able to do this by going to "file" on the browser page and clicking on "edit file" or "edit with".  Or you may need to save it on your hard drive or on a floppy drive then open it with the word processor.  Keep the file open in one window in the browser and in another in the word processor.  You will need to copy information from the browser and paste it into the word processor.

Answer these questions in the word processor: 

My name is: 

My current email address is :

Now save this file on your hard drive, your H drive on clam, or a floppy disk or memory stick. Please save it in *.html or *.doc or *.rtf format (if you use Mozilla composer, it will save it in *.html).  Then uploadand submit the file to the Assignment Dropbox on our course's WEBCT page.  If you are taking two of Dr. Goertzel's classes, upload the same file for both classes.  Instructions for uploading are in WEBCT.  Be sure you complete the process and it tells you that the file was submitted.  If you choose to ask it to, it will email a confirmation to you.   The WEBCT assignment dropbox page will also indicate that the file has been submitted.  Once it has been graded, it will tell you that it has been graded and your grade will appear in the "My Grades" icon in WEBCT.  You can also click on a graded assignment to read any comments that you may have received (although there are unlikely to be comments for this assignment).
