We will be using a variety of electronic media to enhance this course. It is essential that you are up and running as early as possible. This quiz will ensure that you know how to everything that will be necessary for successful electronic participation in this class. If you are new to academic computing do not panic. The professor will do everything necessary to be sure you climb the learning curve in good time and fashion. Please work carefully through these exercises. You can receive a maximum of 10 points for completing these tasks.Fr. Bucko, S.J. will help you through whatever difficulty you are having with the computer! Learning the technology can be daunting for some but I promise that the benefits will outweigh the costs. You can also engage in "active class participation" by helping out your classmates if you are adept at computing.
