Media Choices Can Be Confusing!
I
hope this helps to sort things out.
First, remember
that you don't need to use everything - look at what's
available and use what you think will help you.
1. My MCC (Formerly called WebCT).
•
This is a
course management program that is easily accessed from the
MCC website (http://www.massasoit.mass.edu) Under Students
and Faculty, choose My MCC login. You will use your Banner
login and password. (See New User Protocol below.) It
contains the online gradebook, videos, and a set of
practice quizzes for each exam.
You may take these quizzes as many times as you would like.
If you earn a score of 80% or better on a quiz it will
count as a bonus point on the exam, up to 5 bonus points
per exam. The score reported to the online grade book is
the most recent score, not the best score, so be sure that
the last time you submit a quiz it has a grade of 80% or
better.
•
This is where I
will post your grades, so you can keep track of your
progress in the course .
•
This is also
where I will post announcements and send you email, so
please check it regularly.
2. My personal web site
(http://homepage.mac.com/lkollett/MCC)
•
This has no
access code and contains links to useful sites related to
anatomy and physiology, sample tests and copies of all
course materials. It also has information about access
codes to various text and lab manual sites. There is a link
to this from My MCC.
3. My A&P Course Compass
•
This is a site
provided by the textbook publisher. It requires an access
code that comes with your text, and a course ID which is on
my web site and on your course materials. It contains some
excellent study aids, including flash cards, a dictionary
and activities related to each system. You can also
purchase access on line with a credit card if you are using
a used textbook. There is a link to this from CE6 and from
my web site.
4. My A&P (Practice Anatomy Lab or PAL)
•
This is a new
site that requires an access code that comes with the lab
manual. You should also receive it on a disc with the new
lab manual. It requires a course ID which is
cm537200 and also posted
on my web site. It has excellent photos of lab models and
dissections. You can purchase access online with a credit
card if you don't have a new lab manual.
