Question about assignments
** **
I just wanted you to go over what I need to be doing and where I can find what I need to be doing from week to week. This week I am supposed to:
Week 02: Complete Initial Activities, Part 4, per instructions, plus Assignment 0.
Week 02:Assignments 1, 2 and associated class notes
** **
I don't know where to find Initial Activities, Part 4----- it seems as though I have already done all of them, but it only goes to Part 3: Startup and Orientation.
For assignment 0, what am I supposed to submit??? I have already done qa__00 and I have submitted it, but now do I submit something for problems at interactiveProb, lab/activity, and query??? Also, how can I tell what video goes with each section???
** **
What do I need to do to get started on the assignments---- How do I work and read the assignments page???
@&
Very good questions.
Quick answer: Just click on every link and do as instructed.
More detail:
You have completed everything in the Initial Activities. On the Initial Activities page there are four parts; the same activities are listed on your actual homepage as 3 parts.
Instructions for completing assignments are at the beginning of the Assignments Table. They read as follows:
How to Complete Assignments
Click on the link to the q_a_ assignment and complete it in the same way you were instructed to complete the several q_a_ assignments submitted during Orientation and Startup.
Read, take notes on, do the exercises in the assigned worksheet(s).
Take notes on the Class Notes, using the document as posted or, if you prefer, as it appears on your DVD with working links to videos.
If there's an assessment work through and submit it.
If you so choose consult the 'Text' link to see if there is a connection with the optional text.
Complete the Query and submit it.
Assignment 0 includes the following, which on your homepage appear as links:
qa_0 CD Contents text_00 query_0
As you say you have done qa_0.
You should click on each link in turn, read the information and follow any instructions. query_0 should be the last thing you do in Assignment 0.
The text_00 link does not work. The text is optional in this course in any case. The text links in most assignments do work, but many of them simply tell you that there are no text correlations for the given assignment. There are text correlations for a number of assignments, but while they are a good idea they aren't required.
Assignment 1 includes the following links:
qa_1
Introduction to Central Themes; Examples
Introductory Flow Experiment
Analyzing the Data and Understanding the Modeling Process
View Precalculus material on GEN 1 CD and ponder questions posed in documentation
flow experiment simulated data
text_01
Class Notes #01-02
Once more you need to view each document, do as instructed (including completion of the exercises on worksheets, which you should do on paper and have in front of you when you do the Query), then submit the Query.
You don't submit all the exercises, but the Query will quiz you on a good sampling of the exercises. Also if you have questions on the exercises you are welcome to submit them using the Submit Question Form at http://vhcc2.vhcc.edu/dsmith/forms/question_form.htm.
The Class Notes documents are all to be found online in document form but without working video links. The DVD contains the same documents, but when run from the DVD the video links will work.
Let me know if you need further clarification. You're obviously a very capable and motivated student, and if you need something clarified so do the other students in the course.
