Near the first day of class, you will need to sign up for McGraw Hill Connect. You will complete two Orientation videos, for points, that will teach you how to use the system. Then you will do your first assignment SB1. There will be Smartbook assignments and homework assignments. Each type of assignments will have different settings and we will explore these together.

Since we will be using McGraw Hill Connect to complete online homework for this course, and it is a large percentage of your final grade, it is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL to purchase and complete this homework in order to be successful in this course. You will need to do homework from a computer desktop or laptop, not an iPad or tablet, and you will need access to stable Wifi from home or on campus. There are several computer labs on campus that you can use.

Complete your initial registration by accessing Connect through an Assignment link in Canvas (one of the Orientation Videos on the next page), so that it correctly pairs with our course. (That means: initially DON'T access it by clicking on a tab in the sidebar, nor directly through their website, because this might not pair the course correctly.)

Be sure to use the same email that you use in Canvas.

Watch the Videos and look at the PowerPoint slides below. Then click on Next to get to the next page where there will be a link for the Orientation Assignments.
