 So once you've purchased your SAM access code, you should be going to sam.singauge.com From here you'd go to the new user button and you would just go ahead and put in the institution key for our example We are T2023644 Once you hit submit you're going to get a confirmation just to make sure that you are talking about Cape Fear Community College once you hit okay, you can move forward now This is where you should have that 18-digit access code that you can put in type out and work from Now if you've already say for example made a SAM account you've taken CS110 very recently So you still have that same account you can actually log in as your previous account Now from here, you'll see that we have a few different options Sorry, this is for the instructor view, but from the student view From here we initially are signed up for no classes One of the things we have to do is we actually have to register for a class That's actually what this sections section of SAM is all about From here when you click on sections you can see all the classes that you are currently signed up for So being that I am the instructor of our class you can see I'm already signed up for it along with Some of the certification exams as well If I want to join a section however I would select the join a section button And then as you can see every one of the instructors at Cape Fear Community College In the business technology department whoever uses SAM is all here Now something to take note of is if I click on this guy Notice that does nothing I am not signed up for the class I actually need to come over here to this guy right here If I kind of mouse over it you see I get this sort of arrow finger pointing indicator Telling me that I can join this class, all I have to do is click on it As I go through it's pretty much every one of the instructor's classes are like that So what you are going to want to do is you are going to want to look for Guita now you can click on instructor to organize this alphabetically I don't see mine because well I am already signed up for it But every class that you are looking for look for the instructor again Guita Then you would click on it and what that will do is put you on the wait list Now once you are removed from the wait list you have the activity section If you just leave it at the activities calendar it's going to look like this I personally do not recommend you use the activities calendar The reason why is because you see that we have two projects over here Those two projects are indicating when they unlock And then this is the due date for those two projects You see we actually have a few things going on here I don't like this because as you can sort of tell We've got a lot of days in between there My recommendation is actually to use the activity list The activity list is actually going to break things down into all of your necessary assignments If you want to if you have multiple sections that you're registered in You can narrow this down to just the ones you care about And as you can see I can see assignment one, two, three, four, five, six All the way down to the final exam review I can see when they're available and when they do become available I can simply click on them When I want to go through the process of seeing one of the submissions I would use the reports section I've submitted an assignment I can go in here And this will actually allow me to see what my grade is for any individual assignment And then finally just if I need to we can look at the grade book as well I don't recommend you use this grade book It's not going to be reflective of what your grade is in the class But it will give you sort of that Oh I don't need to do this assignment anymore Because I've already reached that 76 or better And so I will automatically get my A Best of luck
