...contact people in Bio 1222/23?
Other than visiting during office hours, the best way is through email.  We have meetings and projects that often take us away from our offices. |Top|

... get my name on the Bio 1222/23 mailing list?
If you are officially registered in either course, your name will automatically be added to the list and you will receive class emails from time to time.  If you do not receive these emails, there may be a variety of problems as explained below. This service will be activated in mid October after class lists have stabilized.

 ...find out why my email does not work?
 You may need to:
 1) activate your UWO computer account.
 2) empty your trash on your email server. 
 3) delete all unnecessary saved messages (sent and received)
 4) use only your UWO account (not Hotmail or Yahoo)

...get into WebCT?
 Go to to WebCT <https://webct.uwo.ca/>
     and choose <University of Western Ontario>

      Enter your UWO email user name and email password to show the
      Welcome screen and the courses that you are registered in.
      Choose Bio 1222 or Bio 1223 and follow the links to various features.

 Still can't get in?
- There could be several reasons.
 1) <Check Browser> top right of login page. WebCT must allow pop ups.
 2) You are not using your email name and password. Pub Labs may require
     you to use a student number. WebCT requires a valid UWO email name
     and password only.
 3) You have not yet validated your UWO email name and password. Please
     seethe friendly people at the Help Desk (second floor of Nat. Sci.)
 4) You might need to reset your password. (See suggestion below) |Top|

...reset my password?
 - This has worked for several people.
 1) Go to the ITS webpage to change passwords
   https://www.uwo.ca/its/accounting/ChangePassword.html
 2) Enter your email name and old password.
 3) Enter your old password again as the new password.
 4) Retype your old password again as the new password.

 In other words, you enter your user name then enter your old password
 three times. This should reset your password and get you back into WebCT.

...register my clicker?
 - Buy a clicker. Turn it on. Press <*> and use the ^ arrow to find the menu to enter your UWO email name. Press a letter, A to E, and use the ^ arrow to get other letters. Just your email name, not @uwo.ca. When you log into a class, you are automatically added to the class list. Go to the PRESSWestern website for more information.  Clicker problems may be directed to the ITS Help Desk, 2nd floor, Nat Sci |Top|

...activate my clicker in class?
 - Turn on your clicker and press <*>. Your clicker will start to search for an open channel. It will show when it finds a channel (found 1). Press Send and your clicker will show a screen ready to accept an answer. |Top|

..answer clicker questions in class?
 - Choose your answer, press that button then Send. The message Sending...Received comes on briefly to indicate that your answer was received. You may change your answer several times before the timer stops the program.

The power saver feature may allow the clicker to go to sleep if not used for several minutes. Indicator lights may be out but it automatically wakes up when you press any key or answer the next question as usual. Just watch for Sending...Received each time you send your answer. |Top|

..monitor my participation mark?
 - Clicker questions will be posted on WebCT. A summary of your answers will be emailed to your UWO email account. The link <My Grades> on the WebCT Home Page will summarize all marks, including participation marks. |Top|
