Announcements
Information you need to know if you are not yet on mycomplab.com. GET on mycomplab. EVERYTHING will be done through that site. Classes for the rest of the semester are in Sweeney 134. We are done with the computer preparation for mycomplab.
1. Choose "book-specific" when it asks what kind of access you want.
2. You only need one of each text. If you get the e-text version of the Prentice Hall Reference Guide, you don't need a hard copy, too. However, the Conscious Reader comes only in hard copy. Used or rented 12th edition is fine.
3. The first essay is in-class and will be done online. Make sure you are registered in mycomplab. If you are not registered for the lab, we will have to find an alternative.
4. Readings assignments are due on the dates you see them, as are homework assignments. However, notice that HW is due by midnight the day BEFORE class.
