READ and FOLLOW DIRECTIONS, please

In the section below, "Hi Steph!" please leave me a message about using this Wiki. Use two equal signs before and after a "title" that you give your message (think of it like a subject line of an email) and be sure to include your wiki-signature so I click through on it to your brand new User Page. (Returning students, we will be editing/redesigning the User Page in due time.) Steph^(talk) 12:35, 17 January 2011 (EST)

Wiki-Signature

• When posting messages and assignments in the UMass Wiki, please be sure to always include your "signature" using either the signature button (above) or four tildas in a row ~~~~. Steph^(talk) 09:20, 27 January 2008 (EST)

how to leave a message for Steph (or anyone else on their discussion/talk page)

Notice the white tabs that jut up into the maroon border. Your "user page" is where your work goes. Your "discussion" page is where to read messages posted to you by classmates and the teacher, and is where you post messages to the teacher and your classmates. You are presently reading material on Steph (the teacher's) discussion/user talk page.

The third tab (counting from the left) says "edit." The fourth tab is a "+" symbol. The short cut for adding a message is the "+" tab. Before you do that, though, please read the rest of these instructions and follow the directions. You will have to

a) read

b) think about what you're reading

c) make connections between the explanation you're reading and the information it is about (which is what you are seeing - or will see - on this page after you click the "edit" tab).

Click the edit tab and you will see all of the text on this webpage and some coding. Don't (for now anyway) mess with anything already written.

When you click the + tab above, a new box will open that is completely empty (no text). There will be a "subject line" box, use this sortof like an email heading: give me a hint of what's to come. After you type that, click into the larger comment box and type away. Now, most important is that you add your "signature" - this is a time/date stamp that does two things: first it lets me know when you posted your comment or question, second, it automatically puts in a link that takes me to YOUR usertalk page, which is where I will leave a response for you. Next time you log in, if you have any "new messages", then an announcement (a banner) will let you know.

To sign, there is a button/icon just above the comment box...the second one from the right end is a kind of "john hancock" symbol. You can click that at the end of your message. Or you can type in a code, four tildas in a row, no spaces.

Ok - it probably sounds complicated but once you do it a few times the habit will be set. THAT is what I want, to SET the HABIT! Always sign - it is a way of taking responsibility, showing pride, and being accountable. I look forward to "seeing you" - that is, reading you, in the Wiki

(Now, go click that + tab and let's get it started!)

Steph^(talk) 12:40, 17 January 2011 (EST)

your message will FAIL if it looks like this!

• Notice that this message "fails" because there is no signature.  :-(
• If you don't sign it, I can not answer your question or give feedback. Steph^(talk) 15:37, 6 September 2010 (EDT)
• Make sure you use the equal sign symbols "=" to create a header!

Perceiving Dean

Notes from Mhatz24

Possible Explanations for Deans symptoms:

• Dean has a social or learning disability
• Dean cannot actually hear things so he must use his other senses to make up for is lack of hearing
• Mary Ann is just a figure of his imagination- something that he has crafted in his brain
• Uncle Richard is not actually Dean's uncle, but is again, something that he has crafted in his brain
• The sound of the engine could be a link to something in Dean's past that has been haunting him

EReserve & PRS

Hi Steph,

Could you please tell me our EReserve password?

Also, I went to the Textbook Annex last Friday to buy the PRS clicker, but they were out of stock. The cashier said they would e-mail me as soon as the new PRS arrives. He said it was gonna take 2-5 business days. I'm still waiting for the e-mail. Hopefully they will get them by tomorrow afternoon.
