HI everybody, we're going to go through registering for the mindtap course, your
ebook, in this video. If you've already registered and you pretty much
understand what's going on, what you need to do, you can go ahead and skip it but I
will also be going into the actual ebook and discussing the assignments as well
so you might want to go ahead and stick around or fast forward whatever parts
you don't really need to listen to. Anyways, to get started what I did was I
opened up the course syllabus from our course, our blackboard course, or if you
have it downloaded on your computer you can go ahead and go to the course
syllabus, page 3, and what you're gonna be doing, make sure that you carefully read
the directions on the page, okay. You're gonna be registering your account or
registering for the what they call the course , which is your ebook. Once you
register, it doesn't cost anything to register, once you register at that point
you will need to either purchase it online with a credit card or debit card
or using PayPal, get get an access code from the bookstore and then use that
code number to gain access, or you can try it out for right now. There's a free
trial available until the 27th at 11:59 so you can go ahead and get your account
set up, start working on some of the assignments, work ahead even and what
will happen after the 27th, if you're not able to purchase it, is your account will
be suspended but you won't lose anything. All your previous work will still be
there so your account will be suspended and then once you're able to pay for it
it'll reopen again and you basically just pick up where you left off. So it's
a pretty good deal especially if you don't think you'll be able to get it by
Monday or if you have to wait till the end of the week until you get paid
or something like that. Then I would encourage you to work on it over the
weekend and try to get as much done from chapter 1 as you can since chapter 1 is
due next week, this way you don't fall too far behind.
All right, so to get started what you're gonna be doing is you're gonna be going
first to the cengage, go to this special hyperlink that's specifically for our
class. Okay so you're gonna click here and then as you can see register for
fall 18 PERG 120 College Success, your 8 week, the first eight-week class, with
myself. This is a previous login that I had but if you've never logged in before
this would this will be blank for you, okay I saved my information cuz I forget.
Okay so you're gonna be setting up an account don't have an account down here
at the bottom you're gonna sign up, put in your email address, just fill in the
information. I already have an account with that name, that email, oh my goodness
Okay I'm gonna type in obviously all your information you're gonna create a
password make sure you follow the directions, the requirements for the password
it's gonna ask you for a security question so whatever you want to answer
nobody look at my security question, ha-ha. Set up the time make sure you set it for
Pacific Standard Time okay so that way the deadlines and the
due dates will all be based on our clock here not back east and then it asks you for
your birth year so close your eyes for mine. All right and then make sure you
click on the I have read and agree to the service agreement if you want to
read it first this is where you would find the information and if you want to
hear exclusive promotions and you can check check that
box if not then uncheck it, then you click on sign up and you're in the
course. Alright, now again as I mentioned before you can go ahead and purchase the
course here for $60 if you actually want like a loose-leaf copy of the book you
want printed actual pages you can pay the higher amount or if you're currently
taking courses with other instructors that also use MindTap for their ebooks
you can actually purchase an unlimited account access for $119 and then this
will allow you to access as many courses as you need. So let's say you're taking
four classes and all four of us are using mindtap instead of buying four
separate books so that would be like two hundred and what two hundred and forty
dollars two hundred and forty dollars sorry
then if you pay $119 that'll actually give you access to all four classes and
it's cheaper and you have unlimited access and it gives you the information
that you have access to you can even get a rental book for like eight bucks. So
it's just a thought for those of you that maybe you can afford it I know
that's expensive so don't worry about it if you can't. I'm not sure how long you
can have oh one year so if you're taking more courses next semester that are
gonna have mindtap then that might be a pretty good bargain.
Anyways so you're gonna either pay for it now or you're gonna register your
access code if you purchase an access code from the bookstore this is where
you would type it in okay but if you don't have either and you want to go
ahead and get started it says 14 days left for the trial but really we only
have, what's today Thursday, you only have one two three four more
days I'm not sure why it says fourteen you can go to continue to course and you
can actually access the course for the next four days for free. So hit accept
you accept the agreement here's our course this just gives you basic
information about the publisher and the author click on you can start a tour. I
strongly recommend that you do the tours ok go through it tells you all the
information that you need where the assignments are or how to filter the
information really this interactive ebook has some really awesome apps that
you can use to help make this a better experience for you so take advantage of
all that information the search button ok and here is our course ok again here
are the different apps take some time to review each app you can highlight some
of the information, there's a dictionary, there's a glossary, if you're the
kind of person that likes to read out loud there's an actual read speaker for
you that would read that'll read the pages for you as you're reading along so
that would help you, you can create study notes here if you want to actually see
the whole book and print out pages you can find it here
you could save information to your Google Drive additional resources here
so there's all kinds of things that are really really neat resources for you to
help you help make this a better experience. Alright so here is our
book and it's a couple ways you can view it you can either view it this way with
the units with all the different units here's the chapters ok I just added this
this isn't actually if you click on it the syllabus quiz isn't actually
actually a non-MindTap activity, this is the quiz that you take on blackboard but
I thought it might help to add it to your calendar here so you can you know
help you keep track of it
Getting Started in MindTap, i want you to watch the video so again it will help
you to understand how to use it so please take the time to watch the video
and then this talks about the author and how he got to writing this book now
these are all assessments that you must complete you're going to be doing two of
them a pre-assessment and a post-assessment
the pre-assessment you do now okay this first these first two are due by Sunday
and I'd rather that you actually do the assessment before you even start with
the book like with reading the book because this will give us some this will
give you a more accurate representation of where you currently are with regards
to these topics especially this soft skills one you will have to complete the
assessment before you can even answer the first journal question so you would
click on the link and then you complete it read the directions and then you
start okay so you're gonna be doing the pre-assessment now these due dates and
then at the end of the term or at the end of the eight weeks you're gonna be
doing a post assessment and then you're gonna be comparing your scores and
ideally you'll have different or higher scores at the end than what you have now
because the whole point of this class is to learn this information now keep in
mind when you're taking this assessment we're not expecting like super high
scores we want you to be truthful and honest when you're answering if you
don't know something make sure that you put that you don't know it the whole
point is for you to learn in this class so ideally we don't want you to know if
you know everything then you're gonna be bored so be honest with yourself when
you're taking these assessments because this is really for your own benefit and
it'll help you to see the areas that maybe you need to grow in and learn or pay close
attention to when you get to those topics in the class and and ideally what
we want to see is growth, which is why you're taking this class
right personal growth so again these are super important make sure you complete
these assessments and then when you're done with that you can go ahead and
start with chapter 1 always always always read the chapter
before you start the assignments you'll have a much easier time of it then if
you try to just jump you could literally just jump to the assignment and do it
but you're not gonna know what what it's talking about if you don't read the
information first okay start assignment now and then here's the question here's
the textbox and this is where you start this is how you do it
type the stuff in and then you hit submit for grading and then I'll see it
and I'll grade it and keep going so everything will be done in your eBook
okay this is where you'll take your quiz and everything will be done here. Now
this is one way to see the entire course by unit by chapter you're gonna see
assignments that say "count towards grade" and "practice" oops sorry
and then you'll see assignments that say "practice". Now the ones that count towards
grades are the ones that are due that, are required, you will find
them in your course schedule in your syllabus okay for sure you have to do
the ones that say count towards grade. If it says practice that means it's an
extra credit opportunity so I'm not gonna be you're not gonna be required to
complete every single journal in the chapters it's usually be about two
journals per chapte. The other journals though they'll be there to give you the
opportunity to just really explore your thoughts and your feelings about the
topics, kind of process the information apply it
to your personal life it's really a great opportunity for you to just kind
of sit down think about some of these important topics that are going to help
you be more successful in college play them out see how best to use the
information and so if you want to complete any of
these other assignments that say practice I will give you extra credit
points okay
As I mentioned before there are gonna be due dates but it's a soft due date if
you're stuck or have a problem and you can't complete it on time you'll
just need to let me know so that I can extend the due dates for you practice
extra credit work won't be due until the very last day October 13th but don't
wait until that day I mean get it done throughout these next 8 weeks. So this
is one way to look at every single section of your book okay. Another way to
do it is if you go up to the top here's our two different views there's a list
view and there's a calendar view okay the calendar view then shows you what
you have to do each week what assignments are required. So again you
would just click on the week and it tells you what you should do by the end
of the week okay so these are based on the due dates that I have already listed
okay so again you can just jump right to the assignment without reading the
chapter but ideally and to get the most out of this class you want to read the
chapter it's a really good book I think you're gonna get a lot out of it if you
just really allow yourself to invest the time that you need to to gain as much as
you are allowing yourself , the more you
put into this class the more you're gonna get out of it I promise. I hear it
all the time at the end of the semesters from my students, they're so glad they took
the class, they wish they would have taken it sooner
you know those students that really put worked into it and put a lot into it
will get the most benefit out of it so that's what I'm encouraging you to do so
that's what you're gonna do every week so there's again you can either go through
the calendar view and just do the stuff that's due that's that's required for
each a week or you can go to the list view and again you'll see the things
that are required but you'll also see the extra credit opportunities.
Make sure you scroll all the way down at the bottom is your Study Skills
activities which will also be due and again they're in your in your course
schedule you'll also find them in the calendar view for example I think here's
a here's the first study skills it's actually due on the 9th ok to find out
how you're gonna have two grade books, you're gonna have the one in blackboard
and the one here in mindtap. So this is how this is where I will be, you'll be
able to keep track of your grade right here for the mindtap stuff. I'm not gonna
be transferring, I have to manually transfer your mindtap work into
blackboard so I'm gonna wait till the end till all your points are scored
before I transfer it into blackboard so if you want to know how you are doing in this class
the best thing to do is look at this page right here and then you know
compare it with with how you're doing in in blackboard. Let's see what else do I
need to tell you I think that's it hopefully this clarifies things for you
for those of you that haven't got started with the book yet or aren't too
sure how to start but if you get stuck or if you have any questions the best
thing to do, go up to where it says your name in the top right corner, hit
customer support and submit a request help request. Especially if it's a
technical issue specifically having to do with Cengage or the book or the,
you know mindtap. You can certainly, of course, ask me for help
but if I can't help you I will refer you back to this page because some of the
stuff is too technical and I won't be able to figure it out either and they're
pretty good about getting back to you rather quickly. If you don't hear from
them definitely, definitely email me and let
me know so that I can contact my publisher representative. So what else
can I tell you I think that's it again take a look at these apps, utilize them
they're super helpful, watch the video to help you get started and enjoy it
because it is a really great book and you're gonna learn a lot about yourself
and how to be successful in college. Okay have a good week and let me know if you
have any questions and we'll talk to you later, bye
