c603 Students:

A copy of this message, and important messages throughout the 
semester, can be found at:
http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/~c603/emails.shtml

On Monday, September 24th, you must hand in your test results from 
the ethics modules.  This email includes instructions on how to take 
these tests and submit the results.

The Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research has developed an on-line
course for ethics education.  You are required to successfully
complete the 5 tests at the end of the course.  That is, you MUST
answer each question correctly, and achieve a mark of 100% on the
course.  Don't worry, you can take the tests as many times as
necessary.  The important point is that you reflect on ethics, and
consider ethical decisions in practical contexts.

Instructions:

The navigation of the web pages that present the ethics modules can
be a bit confusing.  I have attempted to provide more details than
required to help prevent people from getting lost.  However, if you do
get stuck, please let me know.

1.  Go to https://www.ualberta.ca/ELEARNING/login.html to login.  If the
    current date is before September 30th, select "Vista 3 - University 
    of Alberta" as your institution.

2-3. Deleted.

4.  Enter your AICT username and password.  This is also referred to
    as your "campus computing ID."  This username and password may be
    different than your computing science username and password.

5.  In the "Course List" section, there is a link for "FGSR - GET with
    the program" with section instructor Dr. Locksley McGann.  Follow
    this link.

6.  You can read the "Read Me First" section if you like.  Then, click
    the "GET-ting In" link.

7.  Read the introduction to ethics.

8.  Click on "Academic Ethics: Five Issues."  Click on the first
    issue, conflict of interest.  After you read the introductory
    material, read the case studies by clicking on the link in the
    column on the left hand side of the page.

9.  Go back to the "GET-ting In" page, select the Test Section, and
    take the test for this issue.  Make sure you click the "save"
    button before you click the "finished" button.

10. To re-take a test, click on the "house" icon in the top-left corner, 
    on the gray bar, and continue from step 9 in these instruction.
    Remember that you must achieve 100% correct on each test.

11. Once you have answered all the questions correctly, repeat these 
    instruction for the other four issues.

Submission Instructions:

12. When you have completed all the tests successfully, click on the
    "Assessment" link in the gray bar, at the top right of the page.
    You will see all the tests you have taken, and the grade for each
    test.  This is a good time to check that all five tests are
    listed, and that you have answered every question correctly on
    each test.

13. The assessment web page does not print nicely.  Be sure to do a
    "print preview" before you print to ensure that you'll get the
    whole page.  Also, it seems to help if you print only the frame
    with the test results, and not the entire page.  

    If you are using the Firefox web browser, you can right-click the
    page, and select "this frame -> show only this frame" from the
    context menu.

14. After you print your test results, be sure to write your name and
    student ID number on the page so we can record that you have
    completed this assignment.  Hand this page no later than the
    beginning of the lecture on Monday Sept. 24.

    
Cheers,

-Mike
