Grades Online

You may access your grades online at any time on the philosophy server (not Lander's Website Blackboard) with a username and password from this course as described below (not your Blackboard username and password).

Username: Your username for the course is the first letter of your first name followed by your complete last name in lowercase letters and without spaces. For example ``Lauren Bouchett Satterfield'' would have the login username of ``lsatterfield'' with no limitation of number of letters as with some email programs.

Password: Your password is your Lander L-number (without the hyphen). Type a capital L followed by eight digits: e.g., Lxxxxxxxx.

Where to Log In: From the Philosophy Homepage, under the gray heading entitled ``Class Grades,'' click on the yellow link ``Current Grades Online'' as shown in Figure 6. When the GRADES LOGIN page loads do the following:

Figure 6: Where to Find Grades Online

1. Choose the class ``Ethics'' from the drop-down box. Note: If you log in incorrectly, be sure to re-select your class from the drop-down box because an incorrect login will re-set the class to a default philosophy course. See Figure 7.

2. Enter your username for grades exactly as noted above in the section in bold entitled ``Username.''
   
3. Enter your password exactly as described above.
   
4. Also, it might be a good idea to enter your username and password here in the syllabus for additional assurance your username and password will not be lost:
   

   Username:
   Password:
   

5. The login process is case-sensitive--be sure to match the case of the letters--capital or lower case. If you obtain the result of ``bad login,'' check to see if the Caps Lock key is on, or you have confused the letter ``l'' with the number ``1'' or with the capital letter ``I.'' Occasionally, the number ``0'' can be confused with the capital letter ``O.''

Confidentiality of student grades is a serious concern. Please try to keep your Lander L-number as secure as your social security number.
