                    1. When you purchase a NEW "Bridging the Gap" textbook, with
                         Correct ISBN Number, it will be shrink wrapped with an
                         access code card for an online computer software program
                         called "Reading Road Trip" that is accessed through another
                         web site.   Used books and books with other ISBN #s do NOT
                         you get the textbook with the correct ISBN number.

                    2. The16 lab units relate to chapters in the"Bridging the Gap" workbook
                         and introduce skills and strategies which are emphasized in the text
                         and in Daily Assignments. The online software may help generate
                         interest in the the chapter lessons and help you acquire a better
                         understanding of the skills.

                    3. Each unit has practice exercises with questions to answer and mastery
                        tests. Record your score on your lab record sheet.  Your scores may be
                        saved in the online program, but you should look for the score immediately
                        following a lesson and record it on your lab sheet. I will email your lab
                        record sheet, in WebCT email, after the semester begins.

                        You will be required to complete one full lab unit each week.  Check the
                        class Assignments for lab due dates. 

                    4. You are required to complete all practice exercises and mastery tests
                         for each lab unit. You should strive for 70% or better scores.

                         your major exams and the final exam.

                    5. Each of the 16 lab modules will count as one lab grade. There is
                        a possible total of 1,600 daily grade points for the 16 labs if you get
                        100 on each of them so take it seriously. Your grade for each lab will
                        be the average of your practice and mastery scores for the lesson.
