First Discussion Topic Assignment Posted
The first discussion assignment topic has been posted: Week 1 Topic - Fall 2008 (You can always find the current topic posted at the Discussion Topics List page - see the sidebar for the link.)

As it states on the topic page, your response to the discussion topic is due before the start of your class next Monday, September 29. Assignments posted after the deadline will earn no credit. (You may miss one without penalty however.)
Also note the late work policy in the green sheet, especially the part concerning the importance of completing any assignment that involves posting at or downloading from the web site at least 48 hours before the deadline, along with the importance of contacting me immediately if you have any technical or other problems with the assignment.
You must join the web site before you can do these assignments. They are not accessible to individuals who are not site members. Do this now if you have not already taken care of it.
Also, if you did not use your first and last name when you joined the site (e.g. - you only entered a nickname or just your first name) you must correct this before you do the assignment. Here is how to fix this:

Once at this web site, click the login link and login to the site.
After logging in go to http://faculty.deanza.edu/mitchell/music1/prefs/.
Edit your name on this page so that includes both your first and last name.
Scroll down and click the Submit button.
Log out of the web site if you are using a shared computer.
