General Info for NUR 235

Ask Santa for a 1-2G jump drive so that you can download your lectures. You can obtain them from Walmart or Staples ($20-24). If you have dial-up, then I recommend that you take your jumpdrive to a place that has high speed and download the lectures to your jump; then you can play them at home with ease. You will need to have windows media player to play the lectures which you should all have. We are only loading the files into blackboard one way, which is via windows media. So, you can (if you have high speed) right click the blackboard file and save onto your my documents and then burn to a cd or jump or play on your computer. We are not loading them in smaller files like flash files because you will not be able to save into my documents. We are not saving them in ipod files or in mp3 files. Once the file is downloaded, you can burn it to a jumpdrive or CD and do whatever you want. We will always post the powerpoint version without audio as well as the ones with audio so that you can print a copy and then listen with the paper in your hand if you want to and take notes. This is what you are used to in the regular classroom. I will be posting directions on how to obtain a password to the blackboard if you do not already have a HCC blackboard password in a later posting. Please continue to consult this site during break for announcements. I will be emailing out the second preceptor group names by Jan 2. You will still have 2 months to prepare. REMEMBER THAT CLASS STARTS FOR US ON WEDNESDAY JAN 9 AT 0900 FOR THE FIRST GROUP AT THE HIGH TECH CENTER AND AT 1300 FOR THE SECOND GROUP AT THE HIGH TECH CENTER. ALL STUDENTS MUST PLAN TO ATTEND LAB DAYS ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY FOR THE FIRST TWO WEEKS OF CLASS AT HCC CAMPUS. MORE WILL BE SAID ABOUT THIS ON THE FIRST DAY OF CLASS. YOUR DOCUMENTS WILL BE POSTED FOR YOU TO COPY PRIOR TO THE FIRST DAY OF CLASS ON BLACKBOARD.
