ONLINE WEBBOOK READINGS and ONLINE QUIZ
ASSESSMENTS (e-Workbook):
To access the online webbook readings and workbook
assignments for MUS1500, you need to purchase, fill
out, and turn in a Music 1500 McGraw-Hill User License (now
on sale at the WMU Bookstore and the University Bookstore)
- As a courtesy, open links
to the first few assigned readings of the webbook are
provided on the MUS1500
Course Schedule (this allows you a week to get a user license without
getting behind on the assigned reading).
- To
access the remaining webbook readings and all of the
e-Workbook quizzes, you will need to have a McGraw-Hill User License on file
with the instructor.
- To read the
textbook chapters, you will need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader software
installed on your computer/browser--click here to get the latest
version of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
- Each of the e-Workbook
quiz assessments will be opened up at an appropriate time over the course of
the semester (see the "Course Schedule"
link for details). Once a quiz assessment is opened, it will stay opened until
the day of the final exam. These quiz assessments are NOT timed, but you can
only submit a quiz once for grading. Quizzes are not officially "due"
until the scheduled in-class date of the final exam; however, you
will find it helpful to complete Quiz Assessments 1-5 before taking exam 1,
Quiz Assessments 6-7 before taking Exam 2, and Quiz Assessments 8-9 before
taking the Final Exam.

TROUBLESHOOTING:
(If you added the class late, your name may not be in the WMU
eLearning database yet)
- Do not use Internet
Explorer 8 to do these online assignments--it is not compatible with WMU
E-Learning.
- If you use the "Save
All" button to save your answers, this may CLEAR all your answers instead
of saving them (this is due to a conflict when certain versions of Skype and
Firefox are installed on the same computer).
- If you are using WINDOWS
XP and the latest version of Microsoft INTERNET EXPLORER, and you are having
e-Learning problems, you should try using a different browser, or log on to
e-Learning from a computer in one of the WMU student labs.
- I will hand grade any
assignment that the score does not show up for (You do not need to e-mail me
about this)
- I will reset any
assignment that has locked up AS LONG AS YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY INCORRECT ANSWERS
in that assignment. (You do not need to e-mail me about this). If there are
incorrect answers, you will have to contact me in class.
