My name is Frank Ha and this is the online version of the Introduction to Sociology (Sociology 201A) course that I teach. The first thing that you should do is to make sure that you can log on to our Moodle course site.

     Login name matches your my.cuesta login name: firstname_lastname.

     Default Moodle password is: Changeme1.

     You will be forced to change your password the first time you login. Your password must have at least 6 characters, at least 1 digit, and at least 1 upper case letter.
