How to see your grades online

So, I have a system set up so you can log in and see your grades. Probably, I should have mentioned this earlier ...

Anyway, go here: http://faculty.mint.ua.edu/~pleclair/moodle/

Click on "General Physics II / Summer 2008."

Then, to log in to the system:

• your username is the first letter of your first name + your last name.

Thus, if your name is "Jebediah Dingus" your username is "jdingus" ...

• your password is the last four digits of your CWID. You can change the password if you like after logging in.

Once you have logged in successfully, you should be at the main ph102 course page. There are a great number of things on this page, most of them are not useful. This is a new (and free) online course system I'm test-driving, so most things are just placeholders.

From this page, you can access your grades. You should see a link for "Grades" on the left-hand side of the page, about halfway down, under "Administration." For that matter, you can change your profile, create a little blog or discussion board, or all sorts of other things.

This is the system I'm planning to start using next semester ... and frankly, I'm using you to help me test things out. The system is perfectly secure - no one else will be able to see your grades or other information - it is the functionality and user interface I'm testing.

So: any feedback you have on this system is helpful. Let me know if it works ...
