   5. Student Evaluation of Teaching (SET) today, for both courses.
   6. The final deadline for eCommerce web sites and final reports is Wednesday, December 20. Web sites must be ready by 7 PM so that reviews can be carried out by the other Team for their final report. Final reports will be due at the end of the class. (But work can be made up as the syllabus says.)
   7. Online grade reports are working at last! I will have a sheet reminding you what your password for this system is. If you have not filled out the course information sheet, you will not have a password; see me to arrange one. The link to online grade reports is on the course web site. Check your report out to see that we agree on what you have turned in. This will also be the fastest way to get your course grades.
2. Reminder of what you should be doing online on a regular basis -- these are part of the grade
   1. Signin, from the lab, only on days for the class(es) you are taking
   2. Weekly course report (if you are taking both classes, a single report will do)
   3. Conference postings (one per week for eCommerce, two per week for Computers, the Internet, and Society, three per week if you are taking both). In order to count towards the requirement, postings should be (a) minimum of five lines and (b) about the course topic(s) and class. What to post about? Here are some possibilities
      1. Quiz and Exam questions. Ask a question, but better yet try answering one. I will respond, and then you know that you can answer it.
      2. Readings. With fewer class meetings, the discussion goes in the computer conference.
      3. Use of Word, Excel and Access
   4. Not required, but do it anyway - check your email on at least a weekly basis. Don't have email: use hotmail - it's easy and free. See me if you need help.
