Your Gradebook is in Blackboard and displays all of the scores you have
received on recorded activities, whether graded by computer or by your
instructors. If you ever have a problem or dispute with an entry in
your gradebook, please get in touch with your instructor or TA
immediately.
The Glossary contains short definitions of terms from CalculusQuestTM, differentiation and trigonometric formulas,
a few historical tidbits, and other information which can be presented
in a concise format and to which you might want to refer while reading
a Lesson page. Glossary items will appear in separate windows which can
be kept on-screen for reference.
The Field Guide is a ready reference to the elementary properties
of the functions used and studied in CalculusQuest
TM. The link on this page takes you to the
Field Guide hub so that you may refer to it at any time.
The link takes you to a listing of the objectives -- your learning
goals -- and criteria -- the means by which you demonstrate mastery of
the objectives -- around which CalculusQuestTM
was designed. If we keep our goals in mind we will have an easier time
of staying on track and ultimately of achieving them.
The communication center is in Blackboard and is where you go when
you want to (or are asked to) interact via the internet and web with
other students in your class. It contains means to send email to your
instructors and to other students in your class, and it contains links
to the Discussion Board for the discussion of class material. The
material on the communications page depends on your instructor and
hence your section.
The help pages tell you where to go for help setting up your
computer, for help with your institution's registration system, and for
other help external to the content and delivery of CalculusQuestTM.
This is the on-line version of the First Aid section of your Guide.
It is meant to help you out with the many technical problems which
could crop up, ranging from wierd looking pages to error messages from
the server. CalculusQuest
TM makes use of emerging technology which
does not always work the way it is supposed to work, and when it breaks
down, this is the place to look (assuming you can still get there).
