Hello! I'm going to go over what to
expect in MM305 - Business Statistics
and Quantitative Analysis.  As this is a
math course, there are a few things that
are a little bit different than some
other courses.  First we're going to look
at the discussion.  As usual you'll see
there is an Introduce Yourself for Unit
1, then there's a Unit 1 Discussion, but
what you will see this different is
after you see a description of what to
do for your initial post, down below it
has a Peer Reply #1 and a Peer Reply #2. 
 This is different because
you need to do those particular peer
replies to other students for your
credit.  Now what does assist is that
there are examples given for the initial
post and for the peer replies.  Additionally, if you go to the LiveBinder,
which we will look at later,
you will see a starter video to assist
you with the writing of your post.  Next
we're going to take a look at where
you're going to be doing your homework
and also take your quizzes.  It is not
going to be in that normal location, for
example, if you click on Unit 2, you will
see your Reading, Discussion, Lab, etc.  The lab and the quiz are items that you will
be needing to complete each unit.  However, 
those are not found by going through
this route.  Instead what you'll need to
do is go right above Unit 1 and click on
Hawkes Learning.  When you are in Hawkes Learning, you should see Hawkes Learning
again as another link to click.
When you come out here you'll see a few
different things.  You'll see the name of
your text, which is Discovering
Statistics and Data, 3rd edition.
You will see View Course, which we will
click on to enter, and also down below
it will show you some items that will be
due, the name of the lessons, and some
quizzes.  We'll go ahead and click on View
Course.  When you are in View Course you
will have items listed according to the
unit when you first go in, you could also
see all the lessons that are
possible. So I'll go back here to the
to-do list and we're going to take a
look at one lesson in particular.  We're
just going to take a look at this first
one.  In here you're going to see three
parts: Learn, Practice, and Certify.  In Learn you can do all your reading and
look at some examples.  In Practice you
have an opportunity to work on problems
that are related to what we're in the
Learn section.  And Certify is what you
will need to do to get credit for
learning was taken place in this
particular lesson.  Each Certify requires
that you achieve at least 80% in order
to indicate that you have learned the
material for this lesson and therefore
you will earn the points towards this
lesson.  Let's take a look at Start for
the Learn piece.  You'll see that there is
a Pages location which kind of organizes
it for you whether talk about Learn or
there may be some activities in there.
You can click on next to go through the
various pages - sometimes you need to
scroll down to see extra information
that is in there.  And if you go through
next and enough look at all your
information for the particular unit.
When you're done it'll be time to go
ahead and click on Practice.  So I'm going
to click on Start to take a look at our
Practice.  Down in the lower right hand
corner you'll see submit answers when
you have ready to submit your answer
you'll click there.  If you happen to get
an answer wrong or just want to try
another one like it you can try a
similar problem or if you feel
comfortable with material you can click
on Skip.
If you click on tutor, you will be given
some additional instructions that may
assist you with completing a particular
problem or task at hand.  I'm going to go
back to Practice. I'm going to leave the
practice area by saving and I'm going to
choose it exit without saving, that's up
to you.  If you are working on the certify
section I would exit with saving though.
I'm going to go back to the main course
and they go to Unit 2 underneath Content.
Another resource that is extremely
useful is LiveBinder.  So for each unit
if you scroll all the way down, you'll
see a LiveBinder.  Each unit has its own
LiveBinder.  In this case we have the
Unit 2 LiveBinder.  Inside the LiveBinder
you'll see various resources.  First
you'll see a table of contents listing
all the different items that you can
find.  Sometimes there's some sub content -
you'll see that by in the indentations
that are indicated.  Now if we click on
the discussion board video, which is in
that purple tab - and it's that way for
all the units, you will see some
additional tabs showing up here there in
this teal color.  If you click on one
you're going to see where you're going
to start playing a video that will
assist you.  If you happen to have a green
tab in that very beginning part that
means that there is a workbook with
several worksheets that you can download
to assist you with the problems that
you're working on for a particular unit.  You will also have resources such as
some videos which will explain how to
use the workbooks within that particular
unit.  Every unit will also have the links
of the PG Math Center for tutoring and
other resources, a special math
resource library, go to the math Center
and using math type in the discussion
board, so that's in every single unit.
We're going to go back into the main
course.  One other location I want you to
be aware of is the Virtual Office.  When
you go into the Virtual Office area,
you will see down in this area where
your instructor will have posted the
powerpoints for a particular unit so
that you can go back and review them.  If
you have questions about your course
please contact your instructor.
