I am trying to access an online simulation through Pearson's MyMIS Lab for an online class. I was using this simulation a couple of days ago but when I logged on this morning, the simulation would not open. I have copy and pasted the error message that pops up when I try to access it. At the bottom, it reads "You're seeing this error because you have DEBUG = True in your Django settings file. Change that to False, and Django will display a standard 500 page." I have no idea what Django settings are and have researched how to change the setting but I am not familiar with this at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated so I can get my homework finished! Thank you!!!!

That is a problem with a Python script that runs on the server. The website needs to fix this. If the problem persists then contact them via e-mail.
