Hi Everyone

It's good to have all of you in class. 

Don't forget to read this document:  Getting Started in MathXL
Also this:  Using MathXL

Pete Esser
When you log into Math XL, consult the course calendar for test deadlines and check for recent course announcements. 

Homework and Practice Tests are "active" ahead of the official starting date of June 8, 2009.
You may start working on them as of June 1, 2009.
All of the graded tests are "active" as of Monday June 8, 2009. 

Do not click on a graded test until you are ready for it, because if you start and back out of it, it will either score a 0 or determine a score based on the few problems you may have tried.  So if you are really curious about what a particular chapter test will look like, try the Practice Tests that are available in MathXL.

Make sure you are staying on pace.  Remember you have 9 chapters to complete and there are 16 weeks in the semester.  That means you have to complete roughly 1 chapter in 1 1/2 weeks or so.  ***During summer school, you will need to complete 1 1/2 chapters per week since the semester is 6 weeks long.***

 

Grades & Progress
You will have a personal gradebook established through Math XL
