7. How do I Find Everything?
Look on the left hand side of the screen for a column
of BLUE TABS.
LESSONS is where you will see your modules
(chapters) with drop down menus. Please make sure you are reading the lesson before submitting work.
In the COURSE INFORMATION tab you can find,
pace chart, contact-drop policy, student resources,
and more. Remember, this is your user guide to the
course.
ASSESSMENTS is where your assignments will be
completed and turned in.
GRADEBOOK is where you can access previous work
and resubmit assignments if necessary
is where you will receive all your feedback
from your assignments.
Make sure to LOGOFF, when leaving, in order to avoid “cookie” problems.

How do I Find my Lessons?
Click on the “Lessons” button to get to the index.
The “Assessments” button is where you go to take the lesson quiz… AFTER you have gone through the lesson completely.
Click on the down arrow to make your selection.

9. How do I navigate within each lesson?
Take the Pre-Test for each module. The Pre-Test is so that you and I will know what you already know before you go through the material in the module. If it is alright with your parent, you can be exempt from the lessons that you have shown mastery on in the Pre-Test.
Read the lesson and take thorough notes. Remember you can use your notes on ANYTHING in this course, so they are a great resource…especially for the Segment Exam.
Do the Try It & Activity problems. These problems are like your classwork and homework in the course. Please feel free to work them out in your notebook.
AFTER completing everything in the lesson, you are to go into the “Assessment” tab and take the quiz for that lesson. Don’t forget to submit it to me for grading.
*** It should take about an hour and a half to completely go through a lesson properly, this is steps 2 – 4. Please make sure you are spending the appropriate time learning the material.

10. How do I turn in assignment that requires an attached file?
Step 1:
After reading the lesson, click on the ASSESSMENTS tab.
Step 2:
Select the lesson that you want to turn in.
Step 3:
Complete your work by typing directly into the “Student Comment” box or by attaching a file.
If you attach a file, do not use a ( . ) period in the file name.
Step 4:
When you are ready to submit, make sure that you check the “Submit for Grading” box, and then the click “Submit” button.

11. Discussion Based Assessments
DBA’s are an oral assessment that you and I will do over the phone, it is just you and I talking about what you have learned in the module.
There is a DBA for every module and you have to successfully complete the DBA in order to receive the password needed to take the module test.
You can refer to the module review as a study guide.
Please make sure that you are not skipping around in the course. Everything is to be done in the order that it is presented on your assessments list.
