TEXTBOOK
READINGS and ONLINE QUIZ ASSESSMENTS (e-Workbook):
Online textbook readings and e-workbook
quiz assessments are available through the WMU E-Learning Music 1700 page. You
may consult your notes and the textbook readings while completing these E-Workbook
quizzes. Online assignments must be completed by the
dues dates listed in the MUS1700 Class
Schedule.
You
are allowed only one attempt at a quiz (there is no time limit for completion
as long as it is submitted by the deadline listed on the MUS1700 Course Schedule--once you have submitted the quiz for grading, there
are no "redos" for a higher grade)
- 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 its due date/time. These quiz assessments are NOT timed,
but you can only submit a quiz once for grading.

TROUBLESHOOTING:
(If you added
the class late, your name may not be in the WMU eLearning database yet)
- Do not use Internet Explorer 8 to do these online
assignments--it is not compatible with WMU E-Learning.
- 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.
