Preliminary work

course Mth 151

Note that you gave your address as web241@vhcc.edu. Be sure you give the correct address. I usually catch errors, but not always, so your work might not be posted if you don't include the correct information.

I don't know if I was supposed to send you this work, but I am actually a little confused by the whole structure of this course so far. I have taken many BB classes, but I am trying to figure out just exactly what I am supposed to be doing here.

`q001. Part 1 includes six activities. If you have completed an activity, just enter the answer 'completed'.

To use this program you read a question, then enter your answer in the Answer box and click on Enter Answer. In your answers give what is requested, but don't go into excruciating detail. Try to give just enough that the instructor can tell that you understand an item.

This program has created the folder c:\vhmthphy on your hard drive.

Browse to that folder and locate the file whose name begins with SEND. The name of this file will also include your name, as you gave it to the program, and the file will show as a Text file.

Never tamper with a SEND file in any way. It contains internal codes as if these codes are tampered with you won't get credit for the assignment. However you are welcome to copy this file to another location and view it, make changes, etc. Just be sure that when requested to do so you send the instructor the original, tamper-free file.

State in the Answer box whether or not you have been able to locate the SEND file. Don't send the SEND file yet. Note that more questions/instructions remain in the q_a_prelim.

RESPONSE -->

I found the send file.

`q002. Note that every time you click on Enter Answer the program writes your response to your SEND file. Even if the program disappears all the information you have entered with the Enter Answer button will remain in that file. This program never 'unwrites' anything. Even if this program crashes your information will still be there in the SEND file. Explain this in your own words.

RESPONSE -->

Once you put in your response to the question and 'enter response' your work is saved to the send file.

Any time you do not receive a reply from the instructor by the end of the following day, you should resubmit your work using the Resubmit Form at http://www.vhcc.edu/dsmith/genInfo/. You have already seen that page, but take another look at that page and be sure you see the Submit Work form, the Resubmit Form and a number of other forms that will be explained later.

Enter a sentence or two describing the related links you see at that location.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

I see a submit work form, but there is not a resubmit work form listed. There are also forms for proctor information, discussion, and test taken.

`q003. If you are working on a VHCC computer, it is probably set up in such a way as to return to its original configuration when it is rebooted. To avoid losing information it is suggested that you back up your work frequently, either by emailing yourself a copy or by using a key drive or other device. This is a good idea on any computer. Please indicate your understanding of this suggestion.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

I should back up my work frequently to a disk.
