Task: `q010. Any document you submit to the instructor must be a word-processed document. It is not possible for the instructor to efficiently insert comments into Excel documents, scanned documents or documents submitted on paper or by fax.
Don't spread things over multiple documents (e.g., a word processed document with an explanation and a spreadsheet document with some tables and graphs) but copy and paste everything into one document so the reader doesn't waste time flipping from one document to the other.
Tables and graphs from Excel and other programs can be copied and pasted into word-processed documents.
• Note that for most purposes graphs need to be described in words. the important skill is not the use of a computer program to construct a graph, but your understanding of the essential properties and the meaning of the graph.
The only exception to this policy is tests, which are completed in an approved proctoring situation, and are done on paper and in your handwriting (see also instructions previously provided regarding testing).
Please summarize your understanding of this policy.
**** Your response (insert your response beginning in the next line; the next line is blank and doesn't include the #$... prompt):
Everything should be submitted in a word-processed document. Graphs should be described to show your understanding of the graph and the information within it. It is important to use word to submit your work so that the instructor does not have to deal with formatting errors and not being able to access your work. Information should not be expanded over multiple documents.

Task: `q011. It is usually much more efficient and effective for the instructor to work with you through forms and your Access Page than face-to-face.
The instructor enjoys working face-to-face with students, but this is not feasible in an asynchronous course. It is not possible to respond meaningfully to your submitted work, and at the same time to accommodate the desire of a class full of asynchronous distance students for individual face-to-face meetings.
For this reason the instructor's office hours are conducted by responding to information received through forms, and face-to-face meetings are normally restricted to matters that have already been addressed to the fullest possible extent via electronic communication (e.g., access page and forms) and have proven impossible to resolve efficiently by this means.
This policy makes it possible for the instructor to respond fully to your submitted work and to do so in a timely manner. It also ensures that all students, local as well as non-local, get equal attention from the instructor.
Please explain this briefly in your own words.
**** Your response (insert your response beginning in the next line; the next line is blank and doesn't include the #$... prompt):
Electronic communication is the preferred way of communication rather than face-to-face. It is important to submit questions using the appropriate forms. Instructing so many students causes difficulties when it comes to meeting with students face-to-face. The instructor will meet with a student if questions/problems have been explained to the fullest potential and are still not understood.

Task: `q012. When you take a test you must submit the Test Taken Form (at the General Information page, just below the Submit Work Form) to alert the instructor to be on the lookout for your test. If a test has gone astray (rare but tests can be misrouted) we can more easily trace it if we know promptly that it's missing.
Please state this in your own words:
**** Your response (insert your response beginning in the next line; the next line is blank and doesn't include the #$... prompt):
When taking a test, you must submit a test taken form to tell the instructor to look out for your test.
???? You don’t have to submit this if you are taking the test at VHCC?
@&
This should be submitted after taking a test at any location. If a test goes astray, which is rare but not unheard-of, I need to be able to recognize this as soon as possible.

Task: `q013. Save all communications from the instructor; you're responsible for doing so. You are also responsible for keeping track of what you have sent the instructor, who can provide more timely and more complete responses if time isn't wasted rereading something re-sent by a student who wasn't weren't sure whether it was sent in the first place. Once your work appears at your Access site (explained when you get your access code), however, you may assume that it is safely stored in at least two places.
State this in your own words.
**** our response (insert your response beginning in the next line; the next line is blank and doesn't include the #$... prompt):
Information should always be saved for your benefit. You as the student are responsible for keeping track of the assignments.
