I just tried FTP'ing into c2000 and was successful. Maybe it was
temporary. Ami, can you shed any light on this?

Again, I was able to access. Blame me for this miscommunication.
What Mikiya did for my "student" account was to set it initially to be
the same as my username (the one that shows up in Classpad). So my
guess is that Arthur's password is set to his prism account and
Maristella's is set to her cc account name. In fact, this is not a guess,
it's true because I just checked. Arthur and Maristella,
please try those passwords out and let us know if it doesn't work. On
the student notebook page, there is a link to a form that allows you
to change your password to whatever you would like it to be.

Valerie, please send out a message to the class newsgroup letting people
know how to initially access their notes and change their password.
I'm having difficulties reaching the news server from home today.

Mikol, is there a document explaining how to use the note review tool
that we can point students to.

This really is a nice tool for viewing your notes and it would be a
shame for it to go unused because of my incompetence communicating
simple entry instructions. My deepest apologies to everyone.

Gregory
