Using the Left Page Tabs
The gray tabs to your left under the heading (in black) are where you will find the pertinent information for the course. The names should be self explanatory with regard to the content contained therein. For example, if you click on the "Syllabus" tab you will find a link to your syllabus (it is a .docx file).
Where Do I Find Quizzes, Exams and Assignments?
All of your quizzes, exams and assignments can be found under the "Coursework" section within each weekly tab. There are several different types of assignments. Quizzes and exams are created with my.wartburg modules so when you click on the assignment it will immediately take you to a quiz. Any special instructions will show up when you click on the assignment. You will also have several assignments that are "File Exchange" assignments.Complete the assignment and then save it so you have a copy. When you are finished with "File Exchange" assignments you need to upload your completed assignment to my.wartburg. Go back into coursework and click on the assignment that you have completed. When you open it up you will see on the right hand side a button that says upload file. Click on it and upload the assignment that you just finished. *Make sure you click on MARK AS FINAL for the assignment to be submitted to the instructor.

What if I Cannot Read .docx Files?
What if it is a Group Assignment?
There are a few assignments that are to be completed as a group. Only one member from the group should upload a completed assignment, make sure that all group members' names are included on the assignment. Until the instructor grades the group assignments all of the group members (except for the one who turned it in) will be marked as "zero." Do not let this alarm you, as long as all of the names are on the assignment the professor will change the grade from a zero to a score once the assignment is graded.
How do I E-Mail my Classmates?
The tab marked "Classmates" contains the names and pictures of all of your classmates. You may click the box on the lower left hand of the picture of the classmate you want to email, scroll down and click "e-mail" selected students and an e-mail client will pop up for you. You may also use the Chat Room or discussion forums to talk with classmates
