Hi folks,

If you have a section that has been selected for assessment, please remember to complete your UCC-21 assessment BEFORE THE END OF THE TERM. We absolutely must generate the assessment data that the university wants, and we cannot do this unless 100% of sections selected report the data. You can contact Andrew Scott (arscott2@bsu.edu) if you have questions about what you need to complete.

Thanks for your cooperation with this.

Best wishes,

Jackie

I overheard some of you talking about saving files today and the panic that comes from losing flash drives or having your laptop crash. I use dropbox to back up all of my important files. When you install it (it's free) it adds a folder to your desktop. Then, you drop anything you want backed up to your dropbox folder; this saves it to the dropbox server (online). This means if your computer crashes, you can still access your files online. Or, if you are working on different computers, you can always save & accesss your files online. You can also share files through dropbox--which is good for collaborative projects and such. I think it is very helpful. You get 2GB free storage when you sign up. I highly recommend it.
