down for 30 seconds and release. This will turn the computer
off. Then turn
the computer back on by pressing the button again.

How often should I check my grade?
You should check your grade every day. You have one week from
the time I enter your grades to inform me if I have made a
mistake. I put all grades in for the week on Saturday so I
suggest that you check your grade every Monday.
