2. You will need to send your Student Information Sheet, filled out, to my email address: mrebhorn@austincc.edu. The Student Information Sheet is reproduced below.

3. You will also need to send to my email address above the answers to the following questions:

b. Do you understand that the textbook is available only online on Blackboard?

d. Do you understand that you are entitled to one retest for EACH test, but that the highest score on this retest is a 21 and that the retesting must be done BEFORE the deadline date?
e. Do you understand that I will be communicating with you primarily through the Blackboard site, meaning you will need to know your ACC email address and check it frequently.
f. Do you understand that the tests are multiple choice, based on the learning objectives available at the beginning of each unit on Blackboard?
g. You will need to keep the yellow feedback form given to you by the testing center when you take a test. It has your grade on it. I DO NOT POST GRADES ON BLACKBOARD.
4. I will reply to your email indicating I have received your Student Information sheet. Only when you have received this email reply will you be considered to have been oriented. You must do this by February 18, 2015
