task rating: `q010. Any document you submit to the instructor must be a word-processed document. It is not possible for the instructor to efficiently insert comments into Excel documents, scanned documents or documents submitted on paper or by fax.

Don't spread things over multiple documents (e.g., a word processed document with an explanation and a spreadsheet document with some tables and graphs) but copy and paste everything into one document so the reader doesn't waste time flipping from one document to the other.

Tables and graphs from Excel and other programs can be copied and pasted into word-processed documents.

• Note that for most purposes graphs need to be described in words. the important skill is not the use of a computer program to construct a graph, but your understanding of the essential properties and the meaning of the graph.

The only exception to this policy is tests, which are completed in an approved proctoring situation, and are done on paper and in your handwriting (see also instructions previously provided regarding testing).

Please summarize your understanding of this policy.

All work should be submitted on one document to save time and frustration for the instructor. It is much more efficient for the student and instructor if all viable information is on one document instead of several. The exception is with tests, which are done at an approved testing center, because they will be handwritten and will be sent to the instructor.

task rating: `q011. It is usually much more efficient and effective for the instructor to work with you through forms and your Access Page than face-to-face.

The instructor enjoys working face-to-face with students, but this is not feasible in an asynchronous course. It is not possible to respond meaningfully to your submitted work, and at the same time to accommodate the desire of a class full of asynchronous distance students for individual face-to-face meetings.

For this reason the instructor's office hours are conducted by responding to information received through forms, and face-to-face meetings are normally restricted to matters that have already been addressed to the fullest possible extent via electronic communication (e.g., access page and forms) and have proven impossible to resolve efficiently by this means.

This policy makes it possible for the instructor to respond fully to your submitted work and to do so in a timely manner. It also ensures that all students, local as well as non-local, get equal attention from the instructor.

Please explain this briefly in your own words.

your response &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

(insert your response beginning in the next line):

Communication between the instructor and student should generally be done through questions presented with the use of forms. The instructor can provide equal attention to all students this way.

task rating: `q012. When you take a test you must submit the Test Taken Form (at the General Information page, just below the Submit Work Form) to alert the instructor to be on the lookout for your test. If a test has gone astray (rare but tests can be misrouted) we can more easily trace it if we know promptly that it's missing.

Please state this in your own words:

(insert your response beginning in the next line):

After taking a test, the Test Taken Form must be submitted to the instructor so that they may expect to receive the test. Without doing this form, the test could get “lost in the shuffle” or go unnoticed.

....................

task rating: `q013. Save all communications from the instructor; you're responsible for doing so. You are also responsible for keeping track of what you have sent the instructor, who can provide more timely and more complete responses if time isn't wasted rereading something re-sent by a student who wasn't weren't sure whether it was sent in the first place. Once your work appears at your Access site (explained when you get your access code), however, you may assume that it is safely stored in at least two places.

State this in your own words.

your response &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

(insert your response beginning in the next line):

Save all work. Don’t assume that all work has been received by the instructor. In case there is a case of missing work, an additional copy can be sent. It is also important for the student to keep track of what has and has not been sent.

task rating: `q014.

If you submit a document and get a form confirmation, then the document has been received.

It might happen that you submit a document then realize you didn't submit your identifying information. If this happens, then submit it once more, and be sure to carefully include your information. However, do your best to get it right the first time.

Please respond with a statement detailing your understanding of the process of submitting a document.

your response &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

(insert your response beginning in the next line):

Every time a document is transmitted successfully, a form confirmation is provided to the student, this will save the student and instructor from sending and receiving multiples of the same assignment.
