The following virtual lab tasks are kept simple so as not to interfere with your responsibilities and weekly assignments for Geography 450 as such. Once you are sitting in front of the computer screen, these lab tasks should each not take more than somewhere between 10 and 20 minutes. The lab tasks are designed to build upon your already existing library and computer skills and to support the objectives for this class. Those of you who have done all this before and are pretty proficient at all or some of the following tasks, please reach out and offer your Email address to a fellow classmate with the promise that you will try to answer his or questions about the specific task.
Advice is often easier to accept if it comes from peers rather than from the prof.
Introduce yourself to your classmates and the prof. A new screen and menu will come up. Send me an Email if things do not work out. An empty screen will appear. If you wish, go to Netscape or Explorer and have a look.
