You can also change the size of your text box. You can change your password (you will also be changing your u.arizona.edu account password, so you will have one userid and password).
- Follow the menu items on the Caucus Center page to select the conferences you wish to join. You can edit your personal list and add the conferences in the order you want to read your new responses. You will then see a listing of 'new' messages in the conferences you added to your personal list.
- After you 'join' a conference, you can read messages and 'respond' to posted messages. Conferences can be 'read only' which will not accept a 'response', some will let you add 'responses', and some will let you add new 'items'. These decisions are made by the 'Organizer' of the conference. Any questions about the conference can be asked by clicking on the name of the 'Organizer' and sending them e-mail which is available on their personal information page. If you want to add a 'response', type your message in the box. When finished typing your message, press the 'post' or 'post&view' button. The 'pass' button will take you to the top of the screen.
- SHORTCUT: When you type in the URL to enter CAUCUS, you can go directly to the conference or item, response # you want. The URL for direct connection to a conference: http://caucus.arizona.edu/caucus/confname/item#/post# This is a time-saver for students who want to join their class conference.
