Here is Friday's quiz. Welcome to class! This is the main content site for the Beat Movement. You will also need to access It's Ambiguous, which we use for class updates and backup, Moodle, the main discussion area, and UCO's WebCT, which we use for email and backup discussion. Please register or login to all this sites immediately. Also, go through all the class material, especially the syllabus. Then ask me any questions you may have. Remember, this is an intersession class so assignments come due quickly. To visit me during an office hour, click on the day's chatroom in Moodle. Remember, you can always email anytime through WebCT or call me, 405-606-5694, with your questions.

Here's my "Howl." PLEASE CHECK YOUR WEBCT EMAIL ON A REGULAR BASIS! PLEASE USE WEBCT FOR ALL YOUR CLASS EMAILS TO ME! Also, do not post under "Main" on the discussion board. Use the appropriate topic area. Here's a WebCT tip. You can view the discussion posts in threaded and unthreaded formats. You can also view only unread posts if you like. Take some time to play with your settings on the discussion board to find out what works best for you!.
