Start all project files in SAM by downloading the document with your class login. The SAM grading system knows if you start with another student’s file and changed your name. Your files will be marked for cheating and you will be given a 0 grade. If this happens twice, you will fail this course.
Browsers and Attaching Files
Firefox, allow Adobe Flash
If you cannot access an assignment on SAM, use another browser (IE & Chrome are preferred). Make sure you have Adobe Flash installed on the computer you are using.

How to Make a Good Grade
Know that you can use a computer. You will need these skills in your classes and a future job.
Start your assignments early. Every assignment, except your midterm and your final, have multiple attempts. Give yourself enough time to do them more than once if you need to.
Try to complete assignments with multiple attempts before class, so you can bring questions to class.
USE GOOGLE and the Microsoft Office page
Turn in all of your assignments. Low grades help; zeros destroy.
Talk to me. I cannot help if I do not know there is a problem.
