Make Microsoft Office Suite 2007 documents compatible with Microsoft Office Suite 2003 documents. This WebTycho Faculty Guide supplements the WebTycho User Guide, and focuses on those functions available only to faculty. This guide assumes you have read the User Guide before consulting these pages. Access Levels Student. Students have read access to all areas of the classroom and write access in Conferences, Assignments, and Study Groups as determined by the instructor. The instructor rosters students into study groups, and students can see, enter, and participate in only the study groups into which the teacher has placed them. Instructor. The term Instructor is used in a very limited sense to mean the lead faculty member in charge of a class. The instructor is responsible for the content and design of the course. Faculty. Faculty have access to compose and edit class announcements; post a biography; add content to the syllabus; create and manage conferences and study groups; and read, edit, and grade all student assignments. Faculty may place additional written materials for the class (in .txt or .html format or as a Web link) in the Course Content area, although undergraduate faculty are not required to do so. Teacher's Assistants (TAs). TAs have faculty access to all areas except Manage Syllabus and Manage Course Content.
