Tutorials and Guides for Students


Each PRactical ADvantage Communications student is responsible for knowing what's in the Agency Answer Book, and for using the tutorials to learn FunctionFox.  The instructors won't "teach" what's shown here, so you need to dig in and master the concepts and skills on your own. You may speak with your instructor or the Student Business Manager if you need further guidance. If at any time you need to, feel free to use the FunctionFox technical support hotline. Support is included as part of our contract. (We are account #51579.)

Agency Answer Book

Picture
Each COMM 474 student needs to know the business policies, functions, and resources of the agency. This book is the guide. Click on the link above to view or download a PDF copy. You will also find a copy in the agency Google Drive and in the lab. The Answer Book will be revised pending completion of agency reestablishment in Fullerton.

The 2019 Answer Book has been revised with a new Policy Manual section.



FunctionFox

(previously known as TimeFox)


Complete, correct use of FunctionFox is a COMM 474 requirement. Each student must use this program to keep track of billable and non-billable hours. The student lab assistant will set up individual student password-protected access to FunctionFox. You are responsible for learning how to use the program. Accurate reporting of hours spent on the client campaign factors into your final letter grade in COMM 474. Function Fox tutorials can be accessed at the links shown below.
In 2012, one of our student teams developed a user manual and set of 14 video tutorials for use of FunctionFox/ TimeFox. In 2017, FunctionFox/ TimeFox migrated to a new user interface, so the student manual and videos are somewhat outdated. However, the concepts are still relevant. And since they were created with PR AD COMM in mind, we're going to maintain the links to these materials.

Our thanks go to Account Executive Tiffany Quach and team members Kris Peterson, Brittney Rodriguez, and BrynnYardley.

The team's 2012 FunctionFox/ TimeFox user manual can be accessed at this link:
