Is it possible to add a "disclaimer" message before students enter class?

[mas]

I want students to see a brief disclaimer with a typed acknowledgement when they first enter class, but before they actually see the modules. Is this possible?

Yes it is.

Create a first module and put a quiz in it.  You then make the module require that students make a certain score on the quiz in order to proceed.  All of your other modules have as a prerequisite that the first module be completed.

I know the above is choppy, so here is a step by step

1) Create your first module, create a quiz with whatever questions you want answered in it.  For the quiz have the requirements be a question or questions and for each question assign it a point value(use T/F or M/C ).  For correct answers students get the points for wrong answers they get a comment of not answering the answer correctly they will not be able to proceed.  If you are worried about adding points from the quiz to their grade - make the questions worth 0.01 points each.

2) edit the module details - in particular select that the students have to complete the quiz with a score of say 3/3 if your questions on  the quiz add up to 3.

3) For all other modules (these must all be below the controlling module) you select the + Prerequisistes and select that controlling module

4) students cannot access the modules until they successfully pass the quiz in the top module.
