Instructionsfor This Discussion You Will Need The Posts Go To The Pe

For this discussion, you will need the posts. Go to the Pearson MyLabs grade book. Pick 2 to 3 different Modules that you thought were especially difficult (perhaps ones that either you spent the most time on or the ones that you had the lowest grades on). For your first post, pick a problem from any homework, quiz, or test that you did not get correct. If it was a homework problem, look at the help me solve, view an example, and any associated videos and see if you can solve it now.

If it was a quiz or exam problem, there will probably be a similar problem you can look at for the 'help me solve', 'view an example' and videos. Tell us in the subject line where you found the similar problem. For example, subject line: "Mod. 5 test #2/Mod.5 HW#12 Help" would mean you need help on Module 5's test question #2, which was similar to #12 on the homework. Your post should tell us what you tried and where you got stuck.

Post a screen shot of the problem and show how you solved the problem. Put the Module number, assignment and question number in the subject line (for example, Module 4, homework #3). If you still cannot solve the problem after doing these things, post the screen shot and show us what you tried. Tell us where you got stuck. If you post a quiz or exam question, please look at the homework.

Please make sure no one else has posted the same question. If you need help solving a problem, please put "help" in the subject line as well. For your second post, repeat what you did on the first post, but use a different Module for each post. For example, you could post one problem from Module 1 and a second from Module 4; but not two from the same Module). Please make sure no one else has posted the same question.

If you need help solving a problem, please put "help" in the subject line as well. For your third post, you may either reply to another students' post that says "help" in the subject line or post a third problem similar to your first and second (but from a third and different module). Again, if you post your own problem, make sure no one else has posted the same problem. Please start posting early so you can begin to prepare for the final exam. Discussion Criteria Two initial posts, 14 points Third post, 6 points

Paper For Above instruction

The purpose of this discussion is to engage students in active problem-solving within the context of their coursework by analyzing and exploring challenging problems from Pearson MyLabs modules. The activity encourages students to identify specific difficult problems they encountered during homework, quizzes, or tests, and to utilize available resources such as help features, example videos, and similar problems to enhance their understanding and problem-solving skills.

Students are tasked with selecting two to three modules from their grade book that they found particularly challenging—either because they spent extensive time on them or because they received low grades. For each selected module, students must choose a problem they did not initially solve correctly and demonstrate their attempts at solving it. If the problem was from homework, students are instructed to review the "help me solve" feature, view related examples, and watch relevant videos to attempt solving the problem again.

If the problem originated from a quiz or test, students should look for similar problems in the homework resources, again utilizing the "help me solve" and video features to assist their understanding. When posting, students must include specific information in the subject line, such as module number, assignment type, and question number, to clearly identify the problem they are discussing. They are required to upload a screenshot of the problem and explain their solution process, including areas where they encountered difficulties.

In cases where students cannot solve the problem after using available resources, they should share their attempts and specify where they got stuck. It is crucial for students to avoid duplicating questions already posted by classmates. For the second post, students should select a different module from the first and repeat the process, ensuring a variety of modules are covered. Additional posts can be used to respond to peers who need help or to introduce a new, similar problem from a third module.

This activity not only helps reinforce problem-solving skills but also encourages early preparation for the final exam. The discussion is graded based on the quality of initial posts—two initial posts are worth 14 points, and a third contribution (either a reply or a new problem) is worth 6 points.
