 Hi folks, this is Dr. Don. I want to spend a few minutes giving you an overview of the study plan tool in my stat lab. I noticed after talking about this with another student that the study plan wasn't visible in the student view and I've corrected that so now when you go into my stat lab, this is the student view. I signed up as a temp student so I could see what you see. You'll see a link there that's called study plan and this is an optional, I want to say again, optional area for you to use if you want to get more practice. It's a it's a pretty good system. When you first start like I have here, I really haven't done anything in the course so it doesn't really have many recommendations for me. I went through and took a couple of quizzes and so it's given me some recommendations. But as you do work in my stat lab, it'll start getting smarter and give you recommendations on what to do. But right now you can click on all chapters and these are all the chapters in the book and then you can click on different chapters and head and topics there and then click on those and then you can take a little you know training quizzes work some additional problems to get you more practice and none of this counts toward a grade but what it does do, study plan will start tracking how many they call a mastery points as you work through these additional assignments you'll get points for you know completing them and it will show you how much you have to do and I've got obviously I've done nothing yet so I've got 206 possibilities there but it's a very useful tool. You can get started a couple of ways you know when you go to your quizzes and test if you look down at the bottom you'll see all of these sample test these are pre-test practice pre-test practice review quizzes practice post-test all of these things will give you more practice on the material in each of the chapters and as you do these things it'll start building your study plan things that you seem to be struggling with and will help give you guidance on how to go back and get more practice so this as I said it's it's really a very smart tool I wish we had had it available when when you were started one reason I think they hid that was that some students assume they have to do the study plan and that's not true study plan and all the recommendations are totally voluntary they're there to help you if you have time and want more practice but you don't have to do any of that so I hope this quick overview helps
