HUMAN VARIATION


QUIZ #1: GETTING WIRED


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.

If you are in a panic already your professor will be in his office ( ADMIN 433 phone: 3587) on Thursday, August 23rd from 7:30 AM until noon. He will also gladly arrange other times to meet during that day. He can also be contacted by e-mail ( bucko@creighton.edu ). He 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.

Task 1: Fill out the biography form: Please carefully fill out this biography form.

Task 2: Sign on to C U Mail: All students in this course are required to use their C U Mail account. A C U Mail account is created for every student enrolled at Creighton. If you have not utilized your account yet you should do the following:

1. Go to http://cumail.creighton.edu

2. When you open this page you will be asked for your user name and password. If this is the first time you have used C U Mail use your netID as your user name (your netID can be found on your identification card -- Fr. Bucko's netID is rab41531). For your password type in: doit@#### ( #### are the last four digits of your Social Security Number)

3. If you run into any problems please contact DoIT's Student Help Desk at 280-1111 option # 2


Task 3: Contacting your professor via your Creighton account: Once you have secured a Creighton account please send Fr. Bucko an e-mail to bucko@creighton.edu. In the e-mail state which course you are currently enrolled in (ANT 352 or HRS 331), your e-mail address, and state that you now have a Creighton e-mail account (I know this is obvious but this way I know why you are contacting me). Fr. Bucko will preregister you for the Majordomo list if you already have an active Creighton Bluejay account. You will know you are registered when you receive a confirmation message from Majordomo. Once you have secured your account and written Fr. Bucko, it will take at most 12 hours to sign you up for the Majordomo course list.

Task 4: Write an introductory message to our Mailman Mailing List: Once Fr. Bucko has received your e-mail with your Creighton account he will enroll you in the course discussion list. The mailman software will send you an automatic message confirming that you are enrolled on the list. You will also receive instructions for how to use the list. If you are unfamiliar with lists it's a good idea to print out these instructions. When you receive this confirmation please write a message to ant111@creighton.edu (if you are using Microsoft Outlook or Eudora clicking on the link will take you to a mail window -- otherwise cut and paste it into your Webmail "to" box) introducing yourself to the class. Please tell us your name, what year of school you are in and what your interests are in the class.


Task 5: Check that you can gain access to the BSCW: We will be using a collaborative workspace for this course. Many of your assignments will be linked from the course schedule to this resource so it is essential that you are able to access the BSCW. You will need a user name and password which will be issued by your professor. If you have your user name and password you can go to the BSCW using this hyperlink. You will see a series of folders if you are enrolled correctly. If you don't then please contact your professor immediately.
