Blackboard is where you will take your test each week and will find all of the course materials moving forward. Each Session (1-5)has two weeks, and the folders will unlock at the start of the session. So, if you do not see everything right away, please note it will unlock as you progress. This gives us time to update and make changes to the materials/test.

For information on using Blackboard, we strongly suggest you make yourself familiar with it before the start of the course.

Please note that Blackboard no longer supports Internet Explorer. The recommended browser to use with Blackboard is Microsoft Edge which can be downloaded here; Download Microsoft Edge.
