• MANDATORY ORIENTATION

  Orientation for these courses is done by taking a quiz over their resptective syllabi. You are only responsible for the syllabus of the course for which you are registered.

  This Orientation Quiz must be taken and submitted before you can take any of the exams. The quiz consists of 20 questions. Students must get at least 15 of the 20 correct in order to gain access to the fist exam in the course.

  Immediately below you will find the topics the twenty questions will cover. Actually the first three questions are personal information about you that I may need to successfully manage this course. The last seventeen questions are about information that can be found on the course's syllabus. Links to the four different sections I am teaching this fall can be found above.

  The Orientation Quiz itself can be found on your course's ACC Blackboard site at http://acconline.austincc.edu.
