them! The Quizzes can be taken as many times as you like. Only the highest grade is
kept in the grade book. Each quiz is 24 questions long. The pool of questions drawn
from each chapter has 26 questions meaning some questions change on the second
attempt

This course relies on Canvas and on the LabMentors online lab environment to
Technical
support all assignments, quizzes, and exams. Although there is some flexibility in the
Requirements type of PC or laptop you can use to access the online learning environment, there are
also specific requirements and limitations. The most recent information about
hardware, network, and operating system compatibility is featured below. New
hardware/software combinations are coming out all the time, and version changes to
things like web browsers may affect your ability to access resources for this course.
If you are having trouble accessing either Canvas or LabMentors from a particular
device, operating system, or network location, please try to change one or more of
these elements to see if you can get access with a different combination. If all else
fails, feel free to post any questions in our Tech Help discussion board thread. This
thread will allow your classmates to offer solutions. It will also make the instructor
aware of your issues and provide the opportunity to give feedback that may be
helpful to you and others.
1. You must use a computer running a Microsoft operating system such as XP,
Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 in order to do the Windows 7 labs in
this class. You will not be able to install the lab application required to do the labs for
this class on NSC lab computers or on Apple or Linux desktops, so you need to have
access to your own Windows-based computer to do the Windows 7 labs.
2. NSC is not responsible for assuring students have Internet access from home or
other remote locations. Students are responsible for assuring access to the Internet
in order to access the Canvas and LabMentors websites. The instructor will assist
you with troubleshooting any network connection problems, but ultimate
responsibility for finding a working network connection is yours.
3. Some netbooks will only display this Canvas website properly when using an
external monitor due to resolution problems with the smaller screens. Support for
netbooks is not guaranteed.
4. Smartphones, phones and slate or tablet computers are not supported in this
class. You may or may not be able to run the labs and/or Canvas website using these
devices.
Students with disabilities who believe that they may need accommodations in this
class are encouraged to contact Disability Services as soon as possible to ensure that
such accommodations are implemented in a timely fashion.
