Welcome to Ready...Set...Go Public! Whether you're taking this e-learning course for class credit, or just for more information on how "the enterprise" works, we hope you'll find the hours you spend with us useful and enjoyable.
FOR STUDENTS TAKING THIS FOR COURSE CREDIT:
You will find several fill-in forms throughout the course. You may print them and write your answers, or you may use the on-line fill-in-form to type your answer before printing. Quizzes and surveys are scored electronically, but to pass results to your teacher, you will need to print the page with your score and hand it in. (Note that you must print the page prior to moving back or ahead, or the quiz data is reset and you'll have to re-enter your answers.) For your security and privacy, this course does not collect any data from users.
FOR INDIVIDUALS PERSUING INTEREST IN IPO'S
You are more than welcome to print the forms and participate as a student would. Of course it is not required. Because the course is offered for credit, an answer key is not available.
FOR TEACHERS
BPA member teachers and advisors may download answer keys for the various worksheets by clicking here. Your BPA Chapter Number is required for access to the keys. These are password protected PDF files. See the download page for details.
This site links to content provided by 3rd party sites on the Internet over which we have no control. Authors of those sites may change content or break links without our knowledge at any time. Because answers to worksheet questions are derived from this 3rd party content, the worksheet answers may no longer be available from the supplied links. If/when that happens, we encourage students to do independent Internet searches to ascertain the answers.
NO PROGRESS TRACKING
For security and your convenience, the course does not track your progress. If you must end a session prior to completion, please use the "jump to screen" links at the top of each page to pick up where you left off. (Note that for quizzes and surveys, moving away from the screen will reset the form. Print your work prior to moving away from the quiz page.) You may also use the links to review pages. When used for course credit, see your teacher for progress tracking criteria.
