Your user id will be your last name followed by the first letter of your first name and the last 4 digits of your social security number - for example reidh1234. Your password will be the last 4 digits of your SS#. You will be asked to change your password once you log on. Be sure to put this password where you will remember it. Then you will click on the medical terminology course. You will be asked about an agreement with Mosby and once you agree you will be asked for the access code (on inside cover of little blue book called “Online Learning Resource for…” Once you get to the course, there will be a section on course related materials that includes a syllabus and calendar. There will be modules that correspond to the chapters in your workbook. Be sure to work the exercises in each module. When you have completed chapters 1 and 3, you can take the sample test. Click on the Medical Terminology Examinations icon, select the sample test and enter the password Reid.  For all of the 7 tests that count you will need to make arrangements with your proctor. Make sure you have your user id, password and access codes with you when you go to test. And take your student ID with you. There is a section on communication where you can e-mail, or have a discussion board. If you have any problems, be sure to ask questions. Don't get frustrated. There may be a simple problem like your id was mis-inputted. If you have any questions or difficulties, please call or e-mail. Be sure to purchase the 6^th edition of the workbook and get the book which has the WebCT access information. It will cost more than the regular workbook.  If you are going to TVCC you can make arrangements to test on any campus. On the Terrell campus, the library staff will be the proctors. At the HSC, the HSC staff will be the proctors.  On the Athens campus, the Testing Center employees are the proctors. If the Testing Center is closed, go to the LRC. On the Palestine campus, the library staff will be the proctors.  If you are going to another college, contact the VCT representative to make arrangements for a testing proctor and send their e-mail address to me at reid@tvcc.edu.  This is a self-paced course and it is very easy to get behind.  You are required to take two tests before drop date. Do not procrastinate! E-mail me if you have any problems. Good luck this semester.
