Distance Students:  BE SURE YOU HAVE CONTACTED YOUR INSTRUCTOR BY EMAIL.  You will receive instructions for accessing the necessary Blackboard sessions, and for then completing other preliminary tasks including downloads from the Supervised Study page and the q_a_orientation program.

This preliminary assignment will orient you to the course and give you your first exposure to the subject matter of this course and to the communication process.   This assignment will typically require a week's work, though many students will be able to complete it more quickly while some might require a little longer. 

Assignments 0-5:  Communication, Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

Assignment 0

Distance students:  This is a recommended, not a required activity.  If you have access to another commputer algebra program you may complete an analogous exercise using that program; however the instructor may not have the same utility and therefore may not be able to assist you.   You may, if you wish, wait until you come in for the first Quiz to complete this exercise.  Email the instructor for instructions on how to access DERIVE in these labs (go to MS-DOS and type I:\DERIVE; but check first to see if anything in these instructions has changed). The exercise takes a couple of hours.
