I could not find a separate Resubmit Form on the General Information Page.

Your work has been received. Please scroll through the document to see any inserted notes (inserted at the appropriate place in the document, in boldface) and a note at the end. The note at the end of the file will confirm that the file has been reviewed; be sure to read that note. If there is no note at the end, notify the instructor through the Submit Work form, and include the date of the posting to your access page.

001. Only assignment: prelim asst

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

08:30:53 `q001. Part 1 includes six activities. If you have completed an activity, just enter the answer 'completed'. This question is appearing in the Question box. The box to the right is the Answer box, where you will type in your answers to the questions posed here. 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. After entering an answer click on Next Question/Answer above the Question box. Do you understand these instructions?

RESPONSE --> yes

08:34:53 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 --> yes

08:39:35 `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 --> The SEND file separately stores information from the program itself. Although the source of information is the program, if something happens to the program, the SEND file will remain intact. The SEND file information is only recorded after the Enter Answer button is used in the program.

08:55:33 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 --> The Submit Work form allows the student to enter important information such as name, access code, and email address. It also has a space for a message to the instructor, and a box to copy the work from the SEND files. The instructions for copying the file are given at the top of the page. Other forms on the general information page include the Test Taken Form and the Class Work Submission Form, but a Resubmit Form is not listed with the others.

09:00:05 `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 --> It would be a good idea to email my work to my own address or use a disk/CD to back the information. This should be done frequently, not only on the finished product. Something could happen to the computer, and the information could be lost at any time.
