Equations and Inequalities II is divided up into the following parts:
The introduction gives a brief course description and states the learning objectives to be attained. It also includes a diagnostic test and review activities.
Each course targets terminal objectives that are stated in the program of study. Each terminal objective is subdivided into intermediate objectives. In Trigonometry I, each unit is linked to an intermediate objective, also called a learning objective.
The diagnostic test will tell you if you have the prior knowledge required to do the course. Although you can do the test as often as you like, only your first result will be saved by the computer. Therefore, it's important that you answer all the questions before starting the automatic correction. Remember: the computer will keep track only of the first result you obtain for this test.
When you ask for the computer to correct your test, it will display a chart giving your results. Each question in the test is linked to a review activity. The questions that you have answered correctly will be displayed with a button marked Optional, meaning that you can choose to do the activity or not. For the questions you have answered incorrectly, a Recommended button will appear. Just click on this button to go to the corresponding review activity.
The planner is a tool that you and your instructor use to follow your progress. As you go through the course, you can compare your progress with your schedule, read the comments added by your instructor or tutor, and check the marks of your assignments.
A unit consists of theory and activities and targets a learning (or intermediate) objective. Each unit is divided into four sections:
If you are registered with a school board, you will have the support of an instructor or tutor, to whom you can e-mail your questions at all times.
If you don't have the support of an instructor and would like to, you should communicate with a school board that offers this service.
The help function, integrated into the software, is always there to help you solve certain problems.
At the end of the third and seventh (last) units, you must do an assignment (in writing) for your instructor or tutor to correct. Download the assignment files from the main page or your planner and then print them (the files are in PDF format).
Although the assignments do not count towards the final examination, you must obtain an average of at least 60% on the three of them in order for your instructor or tutor to authorize you to take the final examination.
Once you have completed the seven course units, it is important that you read the final summary; it reviews the main elements of the course that should be mastered at this stage.
The final summary is followed by a self-evaluation test which will allow you to check if you have attained the learning objectives. It consists of approximately ten questions that are similar to those to be answered in the final examination. Although you can do this activity as many times as you like, the computer saves only your first result.
In order to obtain credits from the Ministère de l'Éducation for this course, you must pass a final examination at your school board.
This examination counts for 100% of the mark that will appear on your transcript.
