I'm going to show you how to register for and use Mastering Biology.
First, you need to make sure you have the student access code and the course ID that have been given to you by your teacher.
We will begin by setting up an account. We need to go to www.PearsonSchool.com/access.
In the box we will enter the first six letters of the student access code that have been given to you.
This will take us to a list of covered titles. Click on Covered Titles, and then we are going to select Science.
This is going to bring up a list of books. We are going to find the book we use in class.
The book we use in class is this one. Campbell Biology 9E AP Edition. We are going to click on this. This shows us a picture of our book cover.
We are going to select student registration.
From here it is going to ask us if we have a Pearson Education account. We are going to say no and then we are going to create a Login Name.
The Login Name needs to be something that is easy for you to remember and that identifies you. I'm going to make one up, please don't use mine.
Student 1234 is what I'm going to use then I'm going to create a password and re-type my password and then down here I'm going to enter my access code.
The access code is about 31 letters you can copy and paste it from the directions or you can go ahead and enter those in here.
Ok now that it has accepted my code it is going to ask me for some personal information.
Now the personal information, the e-mail address and the name you see here are going to be the ones that your instructor can see
when they assign you work. So make sure that you use an appropriate e-mail address and your real first and last name.
So I'm going to make up one for myself. I'm going to be Sally Student and I'm going to enter my e-mail address and then I'm going to select my country that I live in.
I'm going to enter the zip code of the school which is for us 95757. Then it's going to pop up and we are going to pick which school. None of these are our school so we are going to select other.
Then we are going to type in the name of our school Cosumnes Oaks High School and our city which is Elk Grove and our state is California. This is so they know that the code and the school actually go together.
Then you are going to select a security question. It can be any question your father's middle name, mother's year of birth, account security hint, town you were born in and that is going to be the security question in case you forget your password.
So I'm going to go ahead and enter that and then I'm going to hit next.
After I hit next I'm going to hit Log In Now, this is going to pop up so I can log in to the Mastering Biology website.
And from here on out you are going to go to this masteringbiology.com. So did we receive a course ID from our instructor? Yes, we did.
I'm going to enter that now: MBMMITCHELL37131 and continue.
And this should come up where it says COHS AP Biology 2013-2014. That's how we know we are in the correct classroom.
So on the calendar here we can see all of the assignments that we are going to have or we can hit View All Assignments and a list of those will come up with their due dates (when they are due).
And if we are going to go into one of these assignments we can go ahead and start working on one of these assignments right now.
