Asking a question about a Classroom assignment
- If your question is intended only for me, please ask your question as a private comment on the Classroom assignment
- If your question is general, such as clarifying instructions on an assignment, please ask your question as a public comment on the Classroom assignment so that other students can benefit from the clarification
How to demonstrate a problem with your laptop or a program
If you would like to ask for an extension on an assignment because of legitimate technical issues, you must complete the steps below.
- Quit all running applications using Command-Q (check the dock for dots underneath application icons to see if any apps are running in the background and quit them as well)
- Reboot the laptop by going to the Apple menu in the upper-left corner of your screen and choosing Restart
- Press Command-Shift-5, choose Record Entire Screen, click on Options, and choose Show Mouse Clicks (and the microphone if you want to give verbal comments while recording)
- Press Record or click anywhere on the screen to start recording and demonstrate the problem
- Stop recording by pressing the Stop button in the global menu at the top of the screen
- Send the recording along with any written explanation to me (and optionally the Helpdesk) via email
