My teacher told me to come here and sign in to their course, how do I find my class and section?
Your instructor should have provided to you a direct link to their course. If they did not, follow these steps:
1.) http://courses.hackettpublishing.com/
2.) Click on the appropriate book cover related to your course.
3.) Under the term "Registration" you will see the sentence, "If you are an enrolled student, please choose your school's course from the list of schools."
The list of schools will be a link listing all available courses, from that list you choose your instructor's course and your section number.
