Practice filling in the blank. The answer is not numerical.  You were asked to read the document Canvas Structure (a page in the introductory module). Read this entire document to get familiar with the structure of this course.  The very last sentence of this document is this (fill in the blank): “I am here to support you in any way possible as you learn some practical _______.”  (Capitalization does not matter; spelling does. DO NOT abbreviate this word. DO NOT include the last period. Write exactly what the document says.)

Remember, for your real exam, keep your paper showing your work and submit it under the assignment “SYW (Show Your Work) for Test __.” This is very important. Be sure to show your work neatly and clearly. This portion is worth many points, a large portion of the entire exam. In mathematics, showing your work is just as important as (if not more important than) showing the correct answer. Therefore, except for True/False and multiple-choice questions, you must show your work clearly. You must also enter your answer for each question. Leaving a box blank will cause a “flag” to show when you are ready to submit the test. Let’s practice this. Type the following sentence in the box below.  “I understand that a time commitment is necessary for this course.” Done? OK. Now, get a piece of paper, write about your hobbies, job(s), family, pet(s), or whatever you want to share with me. If you have special requests or require individual assistance, you can mention that as well. You can also share your feelings about this course or whatever. Be sure to put your name on the top.  DO NOT TYPE. Use your own handwriting.  Now, use an app (e.g. Genius Scan, CamScanner) or a home printer/scanner to create a PDF file. Then, submit it under the assignment “SYW for Activity 1.” DO NOT send photo files. For real exams, even if you have multiple pages, create just ONE multi-page PDF file for submission. After you “Submit Quiz,” you will have about 15 minutes to submit your work. DO NOT send a photo file or a Word document. This must be a PDF file. That “SYW assignment” has “0 pts” since points are added to your test score.
