WRAPPING IT ALL UP FOR NEXT TIME!
*
Now that your semester or quarter is over, what should you do
with ICES? Well, just tuck it all away in your favorite storage
medium until you need it the next time you teach this course.
But, there are some really neat things you can do and we'd like
you to know about them. So, the following screens are intended
to help you get the most out of your system.
*
BACKUP YOUR FILES
The first thing you should do in closing down your system for
the term is to copy all of the files from your MASTER FILE
diskette onto your backup copy.
If you are using a dual floppy system, make sure you copy all
files ending with .INS and .TCH from your PROFESS disk onto your
backup master file diskette.
If you are using a hard disk system, make sure you copy all
files ending with .INS and .TCH from your PROFESS directory or
DRIVE\PATH onto your backup master file diskette.

THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE GOT!
If you have used ICES for the first time, you've done a lot of
work to create your quizes and examinations for your students.
However, you'll never have to repeat that work again unless you
want to revise your course. ICES is now fully ready for use the
next time you teach this course.
Let's suppose that you have to teach the same course next
semester, and look at how you would use ICES the second time
around.
*
SETTING UP FOR THE NEXT SEMESTER
In order to use ICES for the next semester, you'll need to
prepare a new ICES Diskette for use by the students. Or will
you? The answer is clearly 'No' -- unless you choose to redesign
or modify your course or the way you choose to run it. Thus, if
you make no changes, the ICES Diskette is ready for use by the
next group of students!
If you do wish to modify any portion of your course by use of
the 'Setup' procedures, you may do that very easily. Once the
new setup has been completed, just copy all of the .INS files
from your ICES PROFESS disk onto the student's ICES Diskette.
Naturally, you'll need a new 'Master File' diskette. Just
format a new blank diskette (and a backup, please), label it, and
then copy all files from the old master file diskette onto the
new one. You're now ready to create a new list of student
passwords and format blank diskettes for the students.

That's it.
Your examination and quiz grading days are over!
