At this
point, students should create their own personalized accounts for the
class Discussion Group, rather than using the username and password given
in class. The username
and password given in class will remain active, however.

Security:
If you are using a shared
computer (e.g. in the library or campus computer lab), please be sure to close
all browser windows before you leave. If you don't close the browser, someone
else will be able to enter the discussion as you and post messages under your
name.
Privacy:
Any Bulletin Board messages
that you post will be listed under the First and Last Names that you entered
(rather than your login ID). If you wish your messages to be posted anonymously,
please enter a pseudonym rather than your real name.
