Hello

For the question-answer-and self critique process I believe it to be a tool to help us start to learn how to study effectively on our own. Most of the time people will answer the question, not think twice about it and move on right or wrong. This way makes you really think about the answer and if you understood all the complexities of each question. If you did not, you can look over the solution and critique yourself based on the answer. If you have any further questions, then you can contact the professor, but you must first look into it on your own.

Task: `q002. Go to the page http://vhmthphy.vhcc.edu/ and click on your course. 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):
This is the Physics 1 page. It directs you to all of the information and tools that you will need throughout the course. On a blue tool bar I can click on different topics and pull up anything from Assignments to Lectures.

Task: `q003. You might not have many questions at this point, but in general 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 it 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):
You should ask question by leaving 3 question marks after a question so that the instructor will see the questions quickly and not look over them. When do I need to submit the test proctor form ????

Task: `q004. 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.
Please describe what to do if you have trouble following any of the instructions:
**** Your response (insert your response beginning in the next line; the next line is blank and doesn't include the #$... prompt):
If you have any questions you should send your instructor a note using the submit question form and describe exactly what you are doing step by step and what happens as a result.

Task: `q005. On the webpage for your course, click on Assts or Assignments (in some courses (e.g., Liberal Arts Mathematics I and II) the assignments are simply given by a table and there is no Assts link), then on Due Dates (in courses which use a table for assignments, the Due Dates link is provided a few lines above the table), and describe what you see there. Note due dates are updated by the first day of classes; until this update the Due Dates will be for the preceding semester.
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 #$... prompt):
Due dates are in a table based on week dates first. Then below are lists of each week assignment, that can be completed anytime between those due date or even before. In red are times of our tests.
#$&* (your response should have gone on the line above this one)
Task: `q006. Return to Assts, 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.
There are probably things you don't understand right now about the Assignments page. You will get more specific and detailed information in subsequent Orientation assignments. Briefly describe what you do and do not understand about this page.
**** Your response (insert your response beginning in the next line; the next line is blank and doesn't include the #$... prompt):
On this page I see a lot of bullet points split into categories and lots of words and links. I don’t get why Assignments are split into 0-4 and so on if we are not assigned 0-4 in the same week. I feel like it should be 0-1 and so on. I also don’t understand what the q a prelim is and how do make it.

Task: `q007. Click on Info and locate the syllabus or course of study for your course (Liberal Arts Mathematics students click on Course of Study, near the top of your page). 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 #$... prompt):
I went to info and then to Physics 201, which took me too my syllabi.
#$&* (your response should have gone on the line above this one)
Task: `q008. Return to the http://vhmthphy.vhcc.edu page and once more click on the page for your course. 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):
I have made this page a bookmark

Task: `q009. On the http://vhmthphy.vhcc.edu page, click on 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 a 'course' entitled 'Supervised Study Current Semester'. Click on this 'course' 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, and 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 #$... prompt):
This page has announcements, discussion boards, grades and many more applications on the left side. Directly in the middle are recent announcements made by the instructorBlackboard is unofficial and is just a tool to help teacher and students keep in direct contact, but is not linked to the school directly.
#$&* (your response should have gone on the line above this one)
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. Locate the tab for the Grade Center (it might be listed under 'My Grades') and click on it. Describe what you see.
**** Your response (insert your response beginning in the next line; the next line is blank and doesn't include the #$... prompt):
The grading page is a table. On the left is the name of the assignment, details, and due date. On the right are the grades, points possible, and comments by the instructor.
#$&* (your response should have gone on the line above this one)
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):
OK
