Orientation Questions II

#$&*

course Mth 158

This is my form for the Orientation Questions Part II-- I'm not sure how this got lost, probably my error, and I couldn't find the official form to go with it. My apologies

Task:  `q001.  Return to the homepage for your course, as you bookmarked it in the first document for Step 4 of the Orientation.

Your homepage includes a  Table of Assignments, Topics and Specific Objectives.    The link to this table is listed along with other links near the top of your homepage.  Click  this link and scroll down through this Table. 

The first thing you will see is the heading  Module 1.

Below the heading for the Module you will see a note indicating when the  first test,  for Module 1, is to be  completed.  (The first test might be referred to as the 'Major Quiz', as 'Test 1', as 'Chapter 2 Test', as 'Chapter R test', or by some similar name, depending on your specific course).

The course is divided into  Modules.  Scroll down the page and locate the headings for subsequent Modules.

Briefly state  how many modules  you find, and also  when the first test  is to be  completed.

****    Your response (insert your response beginning in the next line; the next line is blank and doesn't include the #$... prompt):

  ??? Where do I find the modules???

I have clicked on the Assignments link on the Homepage and all I see are the assignments listed and numbered and I looked at the Due Dates link and see that the first test is supposed to be during week four which is the week of 1/24 - 2/3.

 

#$&*  (your response should have gone on the line above this one)

Since you originally did this, the instruction to do this part was (or should have been) eliminated from your page. In your course we don't use modules.

#*&!Task:  `q002.  Now scroll down and locate your numbered Assignments.  The number of an Assignment is in the first column of the table.

You don't yet need to know how the Assignments work.  You will learn that by working through the first couple of Assignments.  At this stage we want to focus on where to find information.

Just below each Assignment is a list of Objectives relevant to that assignment.  You won't really know what the Objectives mean until you have worked through the Assignment, and even then your understanding will develop over a period of days or weeks as your brain gradually rewires itself and you apply the necessary ideas to subsequent assignments.

Right now we just want to focus on where the Objectives are and how they are listed. 

Note that a typical list of Objectives is followed by a set of Technical Statements.  The Objectives are intended for you to read.  The Technical Statements often use notations and terminologies with which you might not be familiar, and when first working through an Assignment you can focus on the first statement of the Objectives, safely ignoring the Technical Statements.

Note also that the word  Relate  is included with many objectives, in the form of a link.  You don't need to click on that link every time it appears.  The link takes you to a discussion of what it means to 'Relate' a set or list of things.

Basically 'Relate' as used here just means that you need to know how those things are all related to one another, and be able to apply those relationships to solving problems. 

This is all you really need to know right now. 

The link gives a more extensive explanation in terms of a number of examples, and you might find it useful later.

Describe in your response:

where the Objectives are and how they are listed

what you should do when you see the link  Relate

****    Your response (insert your response beginning in the next line; the next line is blank and doesn't include the #$... prompt):

  The objectives for each assignment are listed briefly under each assignment, but I do not see the link “relate” anywhere. I understand that this link can be used to see how one objective relates to another, or how one skill coincides with another problem solving skill, but I cannot find any of the links.

Check my note. This document shouldn't have been assigned for your course (my mistake, and I apologize for the confusion).
