    Hi everyone. Just a quick reminder, you can find the information to get onto Course Compass, which is where your homework's located by going to my KCC homepage. So if you start at Kellogg Community College i.e. Www.kellogg.edu under faculty and staff. Faculty web pages. I'm the first one and you're in trigonometry. So right here is the link to Course Compass and our course ID code for the semester is Cox 43914. Here is the syllabus for our course. Here's a unit circle game. Here are videos that I have made that correspond with what we're covering this semester. I may still have to make a few more, but for the most part, down here are questions that students have asked in the past. Chapter 2, Section 2, Problem 12 Chapter 2 Section 2 Problem 97 Chapter 2, Section 4, Problem 77. If you send me a question, I will make a video of it and I will post it here unless it's a quick easy question that I can just answer. So to get there, to get to course Compass, click here Course compass.com and it's going to look like this. If you already have an account, just sign in. If you don't, you're going to register as a student. You can also get a free 17 day access code if you need it. So make sure that you get registered as soon as possible so you can get the homework done. So once we're in Course Compass, you're probably only going to have one or two courses over here. I'm going to click right here and this is what our course will look like for the most part. Mine looks a little different because I'm an instructor. You're going to click on the homework button and under the homework, I am going to have you start the the semester by doing Section 1 three. So here's 13. There's 25 questions. Just going to randomly choose 1. So #11 find the difference quotient. We're going to figure out how to do it. We're going to type in our answer here. If we don't know how to do it, we have several buttons over here on the right. We have a help me solve it. We have a view, an example, we have textbook, we have Connect to Tutor and we have Ask my Instructor. If you click on this, Ask My instructor, it's actually going to send me the exact question that you're working on. Each student may have the same type but different numerically generated. So it will actually send me the one you're working on. So I can hopefully help you find your error. You can type me whatever you've gotten stuck on. I understood it until the step. Could you please clarify whatever and you hit send, then it comes immediately to me. The view. An example is also, I think very beneficial. It actually talks you through how to do this problem. I realized doing homework online may be very different for some of you, but I believe truly it's very beneficial. You get immediate feedback. Let's say that I typed the answer is 3, which is not going to be correct. It actually comes back and then tells me that it's not correct. So then it lets me do it several times before it tells me the correct answer. So I'm going to put -3 and then it is correct. If I want to, I can do a similar exercise. I didn't understand it. I want to keep practicing, so it will let me do a similar exercise. And I'm actually going to get them all wrong this time. Let's put -19 and let's put +19. OK, so now it's going to say, do I want to keep the best score? Yes, I want to keep the best score. And then it tells me what the correct answer was and what my answer was so I can practice it over and over. If I put my little mouse over it, I can also see what I answered versus what the correct answer is. You can go in any order to do these problems that you like, but the goal is to get 100% and you can work them over and over and over again until you do get 100% over here in this corner. Chapter 1, Section 3 #41 So I'm going to go ahead and save and get out of this. Under Quizzes and Tests. Every time you do a homework, I would like you to then do a quiz. Section 1, three's quiz right here. You have to score 70% or more on the homework. So it's actually not even going to let me show this to you because I didn't get a 70%. So I've got to go back and keep working on the homework until I least get a 70% or higher. The quizzes. The only difference between the quizzes and the homework is that the quizzes don't have help me solve it or view an example anymore. So you actually have to know what you're doing. Under additional practice, there's more problems that correspond with our textbooks. So say that I don't really feel confident yet. In Chapter 1, I can go into 13 and if I click on here, you can see that there's 63 problems total. I assigned 25 of them. So if you need more practice, you can come in here. The ones with the little green videos, video strips mean there's a video that corresponds with it. The little circle means that it's an animation or it's interactive. So I can actually click on. You have to have. In this activity we will evaluate different arguments for the function F of X actually new. You have to make sure you have Java loaded and or Adobe Flash. I'm not exactly sure. It will probably tell you if it doesn't pop up for you. So those are some highlights of getting you started in case you're needing some additional help. Hope you have a great day.
