Once you get logged in, you will see your Blackboard course page with PSY 230
listed under “Courses in which I am participating”. You will need to click on the
link to get into the course.
To navigate through the course, use the buttons on the left of your page. Try to
use these buttons or the “bread crumbs” (the links listed at the top of the page) to
move around in your course, rather than using your “Back” browser button. At
times using your back browser button will give you an error message; “this page
has expired.”
You will find the practice exam and Exam 3 in "Course Materials"
You can go into “Personal Information” to change your email address and add
any information that you wish to be visible to others on the Blackboard system. If
you don’t use your @blue account and you have not forwarded it to an email
account that you access regularly, you will want to do this immediately. When the
professor or other students email from within the Blackboard course, you will
receive that email on the system your personal information is set for.
