2/9/04 PRS TRANSMITTER NUMBERS

All PRS transmitter ID's need to be 6 digits.  If the number on the back of your transmitter has only 5 digits, you need to remove the battery cover and look inside for the complete number.  Enter the last 6 digits into the OWL PRS Transmitter Number Assignment.  We will try again tomorrow to have PRS quizzes in the lecture.

 

1/30/04: TIME LIMIT ON OWL QUIZZES: Once you have opened an OWL quiz, you have ONE HOUR to complete it.  This timer cannot be reset, so once you have started a quiz, you must finish it.  Do not leave the quiz and expect to come back later, the clock keeps ticking.

 

1/29/04    OWL QUIZZES

By clicking on the OWL link to the left, you can enter the OWL system, where you can register your PRS transmitter number and take pre-class quizzes.
