Your Name:

Your VCCS email address.  Your VCCS email address is the address you were instructed to obtain in Step 1 of the Orientation.  If you were not able to obtain that address, indicate this below and include an address at which you can be reached.

The instructor's response will be posted at your access page under the title you give it here.  You should have a unique title for every question (a question with the same title as a previous question can result in the previous file being overwritten).  Please provide a title for the posted response in the box below.

The purpose of this form is to help you structure your questions.  There are reasons for this:

• The process of structuring your questions is an efficient learning strategy, as you often discover the answer in the act of defining your question.
• Once you have defined the question you are in a much better position to understand the answer.
• A structured question gives the instructor the information he requires to focus his answer on what you need to know.

Describe the situation about which you are asking your question.

• If your question is about something you have been instructed to do, include a copy of the instruction and a description of what you are doing at every step as you attempt to follow the instruction.
• If your question is about something in your text (e.g., an assigned problem) give a brief statement of the problem.  The statement may be brief and abbreviations may be used, but it should include the given information and a statement of what is to be found.
• If your question involves a website or a program that isn't doing what it should be doing, include all relevant information. 

• If the situation involves a program, you should include at least the following:

• the name of the program
• in what part of which assignment the program is being used
• the assignment number
• the specific information you put into the program at each step

• a copy of all instructions for accessing the website
• what you are doing to access the website, in detail at every step
