First day tasks
If you haven't already, you should visit Week 1 of the calendar and perform the tasks listed for Monday, June 11. We will stick to the calendar pretty closely, so you'll need to make sure that you're staying on top of the assignments.
Also, if you will be out of town during the course, you will need to make sure to turn in assignments by their local due dates. This may mean working slightly ahead of others. You should also edit your account to make sure that you have set your time zone correctly (click on "Edit" and set the time zone through the drop-down box at the bottom of the page).
