Here are some frequenctly asked, or anticipated, questions.

Do I need to buy the MP again for 5B, if I already bought it for 5A?

This is very unlikely. I think the MP access is valid for a year (or so?) once you purchase it.

Do I need an account to use this web site?

Yes, you do, since we will be using the forum site to do reading quiz.

Do I need to create a password for my account?

No. It is not recommended for you to create a password. Instead, you are recommended to use a Google account (which you have automatically, if you have a ucsc.edu email account) for the login credential. Please follow the instruction at ?action=login.

Do I need to divulge my name in my user name?

No, you do not. Some of you may prefer to remain anonymous with a clever (but non-offensive, please) pseudonym.

Can I register with a private email address?

The answer here would be rather No than Yes. Here is what I mean. I, the instructor, need to know who you are, and so if you use a pseudonym and a private email address in such a way that I cannot identify who you are, then it is a problem for me. Please note that your email will remain undisclosed in this web site, and so using your ucsc.edu email address for creating an account here does not divulge your identity, if the anonymity is important for you.
