prelim assts completed, anything missing?
I have just completed the other parts of the orientation (IV and V) right before this one. Should it already be on my access page, that quickly or will it appear later?
any notes on documentation/self critique
I am submitting the first content assignments by Monday the 11th.

Assignment 1
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.
