Web access information for courses: 

In addition to textbooks, dynamic course learning materials are available on my course websites. You will be given the username and password the first day of class. If you are an enrolled course member and wish to access learning materials in advance of day 1, please email me. Course activities that don't take place in class are on Desire2Learn, which also comes available day 1, and is accessible from the main Millersville Homepage.

Do read and empty your Millersville email account regularly. That is the primary way I will communicate with you
