Note: If you have not yet purchased your DVDs for the course, you may come back and complete this part of the Orientation after you have done so.
Select the following option (you have only one choice):
Submitting Assignment: Orientation Part III b--Checking DVD's
Your course (e.g., Mth 151, Mth 173, Phy 121, Phy 232, etc. ):
If you have one, please provide your access code. You may leave this part blank if you do not yet have an access code.
If you have not already made the request, you need to immediately return to the menu heading "Part 1: Establishing Communication" (you are currently on Part 3: Startup and Orientation) and follow the simple instructions for submitting your request. You should also complete the rest of Part 1.
Remember that it is crucial to enter your access code correctly. As instructed, you need to copy the access code from another document rather than typing it.

Your Name:
Your VCCS email address. This is the address you were instructed in Step 1 to obtain. If you were not able to obtain that address, indicate this below.
Task: `q000: Verify that you have your disks.
Your response (insert your response beginning in the next line):
Checking disks:
Task: `q001. Class notes, in lecture format with working video links, are distributed on the disk(s) you purchased from the bookstore.
If you do not have your disks yet you will have to skip this instruction for now, and you will need to return to this exercise when you receive them. If that is the case you may close this assignment after first entering in the response area below a statement that you do not yet have the disks.
Note that the contents of your disk can be copied to a convenient device or location on your hard drive. The entire contents will fit easily on a flash drive with capacity 8 gigaBytes or more, and require only a small fraction of the space on a typical hard drive.
The file structure of the disk has a root folder and a number of subfolders. If you browse to the contents of the folder, either on the disk or on another device to which it has been copied, you will see the file pc1.htm.
This file will run in your Internet browser, and will give you access to the entire contents of the disk.
When you run the HTML file you will get a menu with series of links entitled
Disk 1 (Gen 1) Disk 2 Disk 3 Disk 4 Disk 5 Disk 6 matrices
If you click on any of these headings you will be taken to a submenu, from which you can access individual Class Notes with working video links.
Do this now and describe what you see.
Your response (insert your response beginning in the next line; the next line is blank and doesn't include the #$... prompt):
#$&* (Note that your response was to go into 'the next line'; your response will therefore be inserted before this line, not after. This is obvious when you're looking at the form, but if you've copied the form into a text editor it might be less obvious. Hence this note.)
Task: `q002.
If you have more than one disk, check the others in a similar manner.
If all your disks work, indicate that they do. If you have trouble with any of them, or with these instructions, describe your problems in detail.
