Frequently Asked QuestionsQ: I have Microsoft Works, will this work for your class? Or do I need Word? A: I can't open Works documents in the native format. If you save them in Rich Text format, I'll be able to read them. When you go to save a file, look below the line where you enter the file name and there should be another block that lets you specify the file type--here select "Rich Text." This will give the file a .rtf file extension. Double check when you attach it to an email that the filename follows this format: YourName_UnitX.rtf Q: What's with all this encyclopedia stuff? A: The pages for this course are housed on my website, which is of general interest to anyone studying criminal justice. I am familiar with how things work on this server and prefer to develop my web projects in the Linux environment. That means that I'm a lot less likely to mess things up putting the class pages here instead of on the University's servers. Q. What about WebCT? A: Most courses at UAM are conducted over software called WebCT. I have chosen not to use this software because I am more familiar with standard web design tools. This means that you will use THIS site for the course, not the University's WebCT portal. You will not need any special passwords and so forth.
