There are 2 questions in this document, accompanied by some instructions. Copy this document into a word processor or text editor.
Answer the two questions posed in this document, inserting your answers, confidence assessments and self-critiques as explained.
Solutions are given, but don't look at the solution to a question or problem until you have entered your answer.
You will probably find that you can answer many of these questions without writing anything down.
It is often helpful to sketch, doodle, jot down ideas, do calculations, organize and test ideas on paper. On those problems where you cannot arrive at an answer 'in your head', is recommended that you work out your solutions on paper.
When appropriate, you will later be encouraged to use a calculator to do any arithmetic you cannot do mentally. However the calculator is not appropriate to the questions that appear on this document. Put the calculator aside and think through these questions.
When you are finished you will submit your work according to the instructions at the end of this document.

1 means that you think you probably got at least some of the solution correct but don't think you got the whole thing
0 means that you're pretty sure you didn't get anything right)
.............................................
Given Solution: 8 dollars / hour means '8 dollars per hour', indicating that for every hour you work you earn 8 dollars.
If you work for 4 hours, then if you earn 8 dollars for every one of those hours you earn 4 * 8 dollars = 32 dollars.

@& Instructions request that you insert your responses into a copy of the original web document. You appear to have eliminated some of the text from the original document.
The original text includes certain strings of characters that allow me to efficiently isolate your insertions from the rest of the text, allowing me to review much more student work, much more accurately, than would otherwise be possible.
These and other characters are also used as triggers in collecting databases of student responses, and in some instances the lack of these characters can cause your document not to post at all.
If so requested below, you should resubmit this document, and insert your responses into a complete, unaltered copy of the original document. If you are not specifically requested to do so on this document, it won't be necessary, but you should follow this practice on all future submissions.
It is also possible that you have submitted other documents in which you have removed information from the original, rather than inserting your responses into an unaltered copy of the document. If this is the case, you should resubmit those documents, with your responses copied into complete copies of the originals.

This doesn't make a big difference on this assignment, which looks good, but it will on future assignments.

I thought the question were simple we found the x, y .We used the PEMDAS
#$&* (Note that your response was to go into 'the next line'; your response will therefore be inserted before this line, not after. This is obvious when you're looking at the form, but if you've copied the form into a text editor it might be less obvious. Hence this note.)
Task: `q002. Any question you pose in your responses should be preceded and followed by a series of at least three question marks. This is so the instructor can quickly identify your questions, and also so the instructor doesn't inadvertently overlook your question.
If you have a question about anything you see in the Orientation, please mark in in the indicated manner and include it in your response.
Please describe how you should annotate questions in your responses, and why it is important to do so:
**** Your response (insert your response beginning in the next line; the next line is blankd and doesn't include the #$... prompt):
Any question you pose in your responses should be preceded by three question marks which help to identify your questions, and also so the instructor doesn't inadvertently overlook your question.

Task: `q003. If at any point of the Orientation you have trouble following instructions, let your instructor know the specifics:
Submit a copy of every instruction related to your question.
Describe what you do at each step, and what happens as a result. Include a copy of the Address box of your Internet
browser, as it appears at every step.
If you are going astray in the process, this will give your instructor the information necessary to quickly get you back on track.
You should send this information using the Submit Question Form (this is the best form to use because it helps you structure your question and prompts you to provide important information), or the Submit Work Form. Having submitted the form it's also acceptable to send an additional note using email.
The URL's for these forms are respectively http://vhcc2.vhcc.edu/dsmith/forms/question_form.htm and http://vhcc2.vhcc.edu/dsmith/submit_work.htm.
Please describe what to do if you have trouble following any of the instructions:

Task: `q004. Go to the home page for your course, at Calculus I Homepage (the URL is http://vhcc2.vhcc.edu/cal1fall/frames%20pages/Mth%20173%20Homepage.htm)
Bookmark this page (i.e., add it to Favorites on your Internet browser).
Describe what you see at this page.
**** Your response (insert your response beginning in the next line):
On this page I see the explanatory note which we can see what we are going to cover in the class

Task: `q005. On the homepage for your course, click the link 'Brief Assignments Page' for an overview of your assignments. You can scroll down the page and see your assignments, numbered 1 - 28.
You will also see the link to the 'Due Dates Document'.
Depending on when you are completing this document the Due Dates might be for the preceding semester. Due dates for a term are updated prior to the first day of classes for that term.
Please respond with a statement detailing your understanding of the Due Dates page:
**** Your response (insert your response beginning in the next line; the next line is blank and doesn't include the #$... prompt):
#$&* (your response should have gone on the line above this one)
I see all the due dates the first quiz is on week 3 and it lets us know when the test comes
Task: `q006. Return to the 'Brief Assignments Page', take a quick look down the page, and describe what you see. It is recommended that you bookmark this page in your browser (e.g., add it to Favorites) so you can access it easily and quickly.
Be sure you locate and take a quick look at the instructions for completing assignments. You won't fully understand the instructions at this point, but be sure you see where they are.
There are probably additional things you don't understand right now about the Assignments page. You will get more specific and detailed information in subsequent Orientation assignments, and once you start actually using the page you will easily become accustomed to the routine.
Now return to the Calculus homepage (which you bookmarked according to an instruction earlier in this document), and click on the link entitled 'Table of Assignments, Topics and Specific Objectives'. This page is a greatly expanded version of the 'Brief Assignments Page' which includes a great deal of detail on topics and specific objectives. For everyday use the Brief Assignments Page will suffice, but you may also find it useful to review content and objectives on the expanded version provided on the Calculus homepage.
Briefly describe what you have seen:
**** Your response (insert your response beginning in the next line; the next line is blank and doesn't include the #$... prompt):
#$&* (your response should have gone on the line above this one)
I see everything that we are supposed to do in a week it tells us when the test and quizzes are due
Task: `q007. From the Calculus with Analytic Geometry I homepage click on the link 'Course of Study'. Read it and acknowledge below that you have been able to find the syllabus and know how to locate it: Note that you should re-read the syllabus or course of study on or shortly after the first day of class, to be sure you have read the document that will apply to the term in which you are taking the course.
**** Your response (insert your response beginning in the next line; the next line is blank and doesn't include the #$... prompt):
#$&* (your response should have gone on the line above this one)
The course of study is like a syabullus it just tells us about how you grade the test , weather emergency,grade policy
Task: `q008. Return to the your Calculus I homepage and once more click on link to the Brief Assignments Pages. Add this page to your bookmarks (e.g., in Internet Explorer, add to Favorites), and acknowledge in your response that you have done so.
**** Your response (insert your response beginning in the next line; the next line is blank and doesn't include the #$... prompt):
#$&* (your response should have gone on the line above this one)
Task: `q009. On the Calculus homepage, click on Link to Blackboard, and sign in using the same username and password you use to access the registration system. When the Blackboard screen comes up you should find at least one 'course' entitled 'Supervised Study ... ', where ... stands for the term (Fall, Spring or Summer) and year (e.g., 2012), as well as your Calculus I course.
Click on the Supervised Study ... site and give a brief description of what you see. You need not read all the information that appears, just take a quick look and give a line or two of description. (It is possible that you will be doing the Orientation prior to the beginning of the term, or shortly after registration; if so this Blackboard 'course' might not yet be available. You might also be doing this before your Blackboard enrollment is run. If either is the case, be sure to make a note to yourself to do check this page out on the first actual day of classes. You won't need it before then.).
Note that enrollment in Blackboard and enrollment in your course at VHCC are two separate things. Blackboard is 'unofficial' and always needs to be regarded as such.
Please respond with a statement detailing your understanding of the Blackboard Supervised Study 'course', and the unofficial nature of Blackboard.
**** Your response (insert your response beginning in the next line; the next line is blank and doesn't include the #$... prompt):
#$&* (your response should have gone on the line above this one) I understand the nature of blackboard.I know we go to Supervised Study to get our grades
Task: `q010. We might use various features of this Blackboard page, but the course is not delivered using Blackboard. Blackboard has a number of very good features, but it is of necessity a 'closed' system and not sufficiently flexible or efficient to be the primary vehicle. The one feature we are sure to be using is the Grade Center, where you can check your grades on tests and my comments.
At the Supervised Study ... site note the 'Check Grades' link. Your grades will be posted at the Supervised Study... site, not at the Calculus I site.
As explained in the opening message on both the Supervised Study ... and Calculus I sites, Blackboard is not likely to be used extensively in this course, except for posting grades.
Describe what you see at the Grade Center.
**** Your response (insert your response beginning in the next line; the next line is blank and doesn't include the #$... prompt):
#$&* (your response should have gone on the line above this one)
right now I dont see anything nothing is psted right now
Task: `q011. You need not look at any more of the Blackboard page, but you are welcome to do so if you choose, and you may ask any questions you wish in your response. If you have no questions, or do not feel the need to further explore this page, just respond with 'ok' or something of that nature.
**** Your response (insert your response beginning in the next line; the next line is blank and doesn't include the #$... prompt):
#$&* (your response should have gone on the line above this one)
