The puzzle map showing your progress

The puzzle map shown on the right will now be displayed on every subsequent page
of your practice set. Its purpose is to guide you through your practice set by
showing you what you have done and what you still have remaining to do.

How does it work?


Each puzzle piece represents a section that you are about to complete. Each section
contains one or more web pages. You will initially start with a single piece of the
puzzle in place - being the 'Introduction'.
Each of the remaining sections are labelled along an arrow to demonstrate the
order that you will complete those sections. As you attempt a new section, a new
piece will be added to the puzzle.

To see how the puzzle will be assembled during the accounting practice set, click
the Assemble puzzle link beneath the puzzle image.

Tracking your progress status over time


Your accounting practice set is graded out of 1,050 points and is a large activity
that will take approximately 19 hours or more of study to complete. As such, you
will not complete your whole practice set in one sitting.

To help you monitor your progress on the practice set, our VirtualTutor and
AutoGrade functionality will provide ongoing performance reports on your progress
to date.

As you move through different sections of your practice set, you will receive
ongoing notification of how long it is estimated to take to complete that section of
the practice set and the maximum points allocated to that section. As already
noted, some sections are completed over more than one web page.

The following table provides a summary of approximate study time and maximum
points for each section of the practice set:

Do I have to complete the above sections within the given timeframes?
The study times shown in the table above are not time limits. They are provided
only to give you a general guide as to how to manage your study while completing
your practice set and the relative size (in terms of study hours) of each of its
sections. The only time limit is the submission deadline set by your instructor and
displayed on your home page next to the link you clicked to access this practice set.
Subject to the deadline set by your instructor, please take as much or as little time
as you need.
How will the practice set be graded?
Your practice set will be graded automatically by our AutoGrade functionality. As
you submit answers to the practice set website, you will receive ongoing
information about the points you have scored on previous pages, the points
obtained on the current page and the remaining points left to score.
For more information on how points are awarded throughout the practice set,
please review the STUDENT COMPANION & HELPFUL HINTS document available on
your home page.

Information to complete your practice set


All of the information required to complete a particular page of your practice set will
be provided on that page or within the links found below the 'Information from

to earlier pages of your practice set to find information that you were previously
given.

We suggest that you print this page for your future reference so that you have a
record of the approproximate study time and maximum points for each section of
the practice set. Note that this page will not be available in subsequent pages of the
practice set.
