Students:

1. Select the name of the simulation on the Do Homework page.
2. Read the learning objective, the scenario, and the information they need to understand the scenario.
3. Select Next until they reach a decision point.
4. Choose a decision and select Submit.

6. Continue reading information and making decisions.

   A progress bar lets students know how much of the simulation they have completed.

   Students can select the play button to listen to the text read aloud, the transcript button to read the complete text of the simulation so far, or the information button to review information about the simulation.

7. On their Results page, review their overall score, the average score of their classmates (if you allow it), and the decisions they made, with the number of points they earned for each decision.

   Student can select the name of a decision point to see their choice and the feedback.

8. Select Retry to do the simulation again, if you allow repeated attempts, or Submit to enter their score in your gradebook.

When the Pearson eTextbook is available in your course, the related eTextbook section opens when students exit the Mini Sim.
