TEXTBOOK READINGS and ONLINE QUIZ ASSESSMENTS (e-Workbook):


To access the online textbook readings and workbook assignments for MUS1520,
you need to purchase, fill out, and turn in a Music 1520 McGraw-Hill User License (now on sale at the WMU Bookstore and the University Bookstore)

 

- As a courtesy, an open link to Chapter 1 of the textbook is provided on the MUS1520 Course Schedule (this allows you a week to get a user license without getting behind on the assigned reading).

 

- To access Chapters 2 through 9 of the textbook and all of the e-Workbook quizzes, you will need to have a McGraw-Hill User License on file with the instructor.

 

- To read the textbook chapters, you will need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader software installed on your computer/browser--click here to get the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader.

 

- Each of the nine e-Workbook quiz assessments will be opened up at an appropriate time over the course of the semester (see the "Course Schedule" link for details). Once a quiz assessment is opened, it will stay opened until the day of the final exam. These quiz assessments are NOT timed, but you can only submit a quiz once for grading. Quizzes are not officially "due" until the scheduled in-class date of the final exam; however, you will find it helpful to complete Quiz Assessments 1-3 before taking exam 1, Quiz Assessments 4-6 before taking Exam 2, and Quiz Assessments 7-9 before taking the Final Exam.

HOW TO GET TO THE ONLINE TEXTBOOK AND WORKBOOK:

 

Note: This class DOES NOT use the regular WMU eLearning site--you will not find anything relating to this class there.

 

Starting in Fall 2011, the McGraw-Hill materials are accessed through WMU's "DesireToLearn [D2L]" portal.

1. Go to https://elearning.wmich.edu/
2. Log in, with the USERNAME and PASSWORD for your WMU e-mail account (if you do not know this, contact
the WMU Computer Help Desk)
3. Click on the "ROCK MUSIC: GENESIS & DEVEL" (MUSIC 1520) link.
4. In the content index, click on any of the "Textbook Chapter" or "E-Workbook Assignments" links and follow instructions.

 

TROUBLESHOOTING:

(If you added the class late, your name may not be in the WMU eLearning database yet) 

 

- Do the BROWSER CHECK on the opening page to see if your browser software is compatible with WMU E-Learning/DesireToLearn.

 

- If you use the "Save All" button to save your answers, this may CLEAR all your answers instead of saving them (this is due to a conflict when certain versions of Skype and Firefox are installed on the same computer).

 

- If you are using WINDOWS XP and the latest version of Microsoft INTERNET EXPLORER, and you are having e-Learning problems, you should try using a different browser, or log on to e-Learning from a computer in one of the WMU student labs.

 

- I will hand grade any assignment that the score does not show up for (You do not need to e-mail me about this)

 

- I will reset any assignment that has locked up AS LONG AS YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY INCORRECT ANSWERS in that assignment. (You do not need to e-mail me about this). If there are incorrect answers, you will have to contact me in class.
