Don’t forget that one of the first assingments you will need to complete is the Student Information Assignment on darkboard.  The purpose of this is to get the typical information from you that teachers often do on the 3×5 cards and also to get practice submitting assignments to me via darkboard.

The method we are using to submit assignements is called the Assignment Manager.  If you used the Digital DropBox in the past this is a little different and has some advantages.  It shouldn’t be any more difficult to do, however.

Please click on the link on the left entitled Assignments to take you to this assignment.  In there you will click on the “Student Information” Assignment and follow the directions.  You will download a MS Word Document that I provided, fill it out, and send it back to me via darkboard.

Now is the time to iron out any difficulties with this method.  Throughout the year we will be doing it just like this for some (not all) labs so it is good to learn how to do it now with a pretty low-key assignment.

Finally, I’ve noticed that sometimes in Firefox, there are errors submitting the file and you get a message like “please select a valid file…”  Unfortunately I do not know the solution to this and you may need to use Internet Explorer for this procedure.  Please see me with any questions, or, you can post a comment on this blog entry as well.
