 Dear Students,
Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy and hopefully we will be back to school soon.
Wanted to address some questions and make some suggestions.

When using MindTap you will need two keys, one from me and the course key on our website www.wsbs1935online.com

Course Key:

https://www.cengage.com/dashboard/#/course-confirmation/MTPP8XNNDWX2/initial-course-confirmation

Also you must use MindTap via browser or it will not record your hours. You can still use phone, iPad or computer just make sure and use the browser and not the app. Also accept the cookies because that’s what tracks those hours.

1. First Online Program :Was created to give you instant access to a program even though it was rudimentary. The program was intended for you to use the allotted time via Due Date. Because projects were turned in early I can only give the time from which it started to the time you turned it in. I can not give you 100 hours and it took you 3 days to complete. 

These will be graded by the end of month and hours to be handed out via email.
These programs will now be separated hours accrued by turn in date and hours logged in the new system. Best easiest to do it.

2. MindTapThis program is more comprehensive and more of what I would expect in a suitable program. We are still learning this program and will add things to it as time goes on.This program calculates the time you are on it as long as it’s accessed through a browser and you accept cookies.

3. The NC Board will allow up to 10 hours a day but I understand it would be hard to use MindTap 10 hours a day. Because we are a clock hour school we can only credit you the time that’s logged in the system. Tests in the MindTap program do not need 80% but do need the standard 70% for passing.

Do what you can do and also complete the first program as well to get the most hours. If you have projects left in the first program turn them in on the due date. As it’s calculated by time elapsed. 
I think the positive thing is we are all healthy and we have an online program that you can learn and grow from along with earning hours during this difficult time.
I know it’s not as great as coming to school but at least we have a good program to offer.

4. Potential Graduates:Remember the NC Board is closed so even if you reach your hours let’s say tomorrow nothing can be done until they reopen. They will not issue the permission to work. Those of you that still need particular chapters or finals to complete you can do those in MindTap to be eligible to graduate.

If we owe you monies let’s say VA students we can issue a check once all your obligations have been satisfied. Hours, and any extra tuition if accrued paid etc..
Also if anyone needs to make a payment I can do that mobile just let me know.

Please write all online questions to:
online@wsbarberschool.com

Helps me to keep things organized for you. Also do not reply directly to group emails as i can not reply as fast if you would just write a new email. 

Thanks
