prelim assts completed, anything missing?
I am pretty sure everything is posted.
any notes on documentation/self critique
I first started receiving notes that I needed better self-critique, but as I move on in the assignments I received notes saying that asking questions and correcting myself was the right thing to do.

See also Class Notes #01 and #02.
This means to click on the link (the words Class Notes in the preceding sentence are a link), locate Class Notes 1 and 2 and read them. However the video links aren't active on that version. So you should:
Go to your CD or DVD and run it according to instructions given in the Orientation (it's CD #2; see the link in Prelim Assignments entitled CD Contents). You can locate Class Notes #01 and #02 there; and the video links work.
Run and submit using the Submit Work form the SEND**** file created by the q_a_ program for Assignment 1.
Be sure you have downloaded the q_a_ program from the Supervised Study page, under Course Documents, Downloads, Precalculus I. Its title is q_a_pc1_1_15, and it applies to the first 15 assignments in your course. Another q_a_ for the remaining assignments will be posted before you have completed Assignment 15.
Distance Students: Note that CD's contain class notes with video clips, starting with CD #2.
Suggested Review: Text Sections 1.1 and 1.2, if necessary
Read and think about Introduction to Central Themes; Examples
Do the Introductory Flow Experiment and conduct the experiment; you do not yet need to go to the documents referred to at the end of the experiment, but you do need to answer the questions posed in the experiment.
If you wish to use simulated data for this experiment, go to Randomized Problems, choose Precalculus I and choose Simulated Data for Flow Experiment.
Distance Students: View Precalculus material on GEN 1 CD and ponder questions posed in documentation.
Run the GEN1 CD as instructed. The html page that runs the CD will give you a menu clearly delineating Precalculus material from Calculus and Physics material.
When you have completed the entire assignment run the Query program and submit the resulting SEND file using the Submit Work Form. The Query program was downloaded in your Orientation and its filename begins with the word Query.

Watch the video of the Honda add at http://www.videoclipstream.com/akamai/h-l/honda/ or http://www.ebaumsworld.com/honda-ad.html. The animations are fairly small and not particularly clear in some of the details but either one shows almost everything. If you have RealPlayer there are other links with larger and clearer pictures. You can also search the Web under Honda Cog Commercial for better or alternative links. Everything that happens there is physics and as this course progresses you will develop an understanding of the principles and laws that govern this system. Preferably read the background first (link below), which takes a few minutes but is worth it. If you want to read about the process (this stuff all really happened and it took a team of engineers over 600 takes until it all worked) click on Honda commercial background.htm .
See Class Notes #01-#03. Class notes start on CD #2 and are run by running the disk_2 html file in the root folder of the CD. Then run the program q_a_class_notes..., which will ask you the questions posed in the Class Notes Questions and give you feedback on your answers. Send the resulting SEND file in the usual manner.
Distance Students: Complete q_a_area_volumes_misc.exe asst 1 on Areas and submit SEND files at the end the day. This program should have been downloaded from Supervised Study Current Semester > Course Documents > Downloads (the program is directly under Downloads; don't click on Physics I).
View Physics Video Clips 01-03 on the Gen1 CD (note that the root folder of that CD is pretty cluttered; the file you are looking for is entitled disk_1.htm, which might simply show up as disk_1; when the file appears in your browser click on the Physics Video Clips link). Then run the program q_a_video_clips ..., which will ask you the questions posed on the disk_1 file and give you feedback on your answers. Send the resulting SEND file in the usual manner.
Introductory Problem Sets, Set 1, #'s 1-7
Solve each problem in this set before you look at the solution. Keep practicing until you can completely solve the problems, which change every 5 minutes, without consulting the solution. Be sure you understand every solution, including all the reasoning and not just the shortest way to get a right answer. Reasoning is essential because everything in this course builds on things you have learned before, and because it is much easier to proceed by reasoning from a few principles than by trying to remember large number of unconnected and complicated details.
Distance Students: View and take notes on related material for Introductory Problem Sets 1 and 2, found on CD #0 under the heading Uniformly Accelerated Motion, and also on Introduction to Rates, Graphs, Linearization on the same CD. Physics 121 students need not master the material on linearization.
When you have completed the entire assignment run the Query program and submit the SEND file using the Submit Work Form for Assignment 1.

description of content of each link
Of all the links that I have clicked on and printed - they range in pages from 7 to 18 pages each. On assignment 1 there was 2 pages in the Central Themes.

When you have completed the entire assignment run the Query program and submit the resulting SEND file using the Submit Work Form. The Query program was downloaded in your Orientation and its filename begins with the word Query.

Suggested Review: Text Sections 1.1 and 1.2, if necessary
work text probs on paper; submit thru query after completing asst
what must be and what may be submitted
I understand that even though I may have some handwritten assignments done - I still have to turn them in on a submit work form.
include everything in one document
Got it - Include copy of the question.
use paper
They may need to be looked at later. And sketching graphs and hand writing complicated problems may help in learning where a mistake (if one is made) can be found.
You appear to know where everything is, and from previous experience I believe you understand the procedures. Let me know if you have questions.
