You will be asked for your username and password
Your username is your name in the cats email account if you have one; if you did not have one when you signed in for the class, then your username is your student id number with no dashes.
Your password is the last four digits of your student id number. Notice that your password for the class IS NOT the same as your cats account!
Note: if you were not registered before the class, then your name is not in the computer. Ask your supervisor to add you to our list.

Taking the Prep quiz:

You need to take two quizzes during the lab session. The first quiz is the preparation quiz and is a very simple quiz that checks if you read the lab instructions and knows what you are expected to do in the lab.

You must take this quiz within 15 minutes after the session started. If you are late, you missed this quiz.
This quiz can only be taken once.
If you see the questions once, the computer assumes you are taking the quiz. If you close the window with the questions, and try to take the quiz later, the computer will say you already took the quiz. Therefore, if you want to read any material while taking the quiz, keep the quiz window open and use another window to look at the material.
