§ 01 / How it's organized
How it's organized.
Every topic lives on its own page, and each page breaks into four or five
shorter sub-pages: a Mini Lesson, one per
Discussion Question, and a Review page that
holds six questions behind a pill rail (Q1–Q6). Click any pill to jump
to that page; use the prev/next pager at the bottom to walk the topic in
order.

Walks the topic in order, end-to-end.
Topic header
Topic number, title, and the topic-accent thread you'll see throughout.
§ 02 / Walkthroughs
Step-by-step or video.
Most walkthroughs offer a toggle between two modes:
Step-by-step, a click-through Scribe you can move through at
your own pace, pausing on whichever step you need to.
Video, for when you want the why, not just the how.
Same material, different medium. Use whichever helps you today; some weeks
the Scribe is enough, some weeks you'll want the video. Both cover the
same ground.

y = m·x + b
slope m = rise / run, circle the two points first then count.
plug in the y-intercept once you know where the line crosses zero.

§ 03 / Elsewhere
Where everything else lives.
The Getting Started section you're in right now holds everything that isn't
a specific topic, how ALEKS works, how to set up Excel, how to submit a DQ,
and the site guide. The FAQ page (linked in the top nav)
answers the questions students ask most often.
