STUDENT PREPARATION
No advance student reading is required. Two self-contained research explanations inside the activity introduce the studies, concepts and methods. Read these capsules while working and return to them while answering. Original papers and further reading are optional extension material.

INSTRUCTOR SETUP
Work through the route you plan to assign. Review the complete guide, task keys and six-criterion rubric; keep worked answers separate from student materials. In your course assignment, specify the required tasks, exact stopping point, readable report format and submission destination. The website provides the default inquiry; your assignment defines the required endpoint.

PACING
Student completion time has not been measured. No fixed number of sessions is required. Allow time for reading the in-app explanations, questions, analysis, writing and discussion. Set a stopping point that fits your class and allow local saving and continuation as needed. The complete guide's 50-minute opening sequence is a planning example, not a completion-time estimate.

SAVE AND SUBMIT
Work is processed on the student's device. Use the activity's local save controls and check its save message. Browser saving belongs to the current browser, device and website address; clearing browser data, private browsing or changing devices can remove access. Download a compatible progress JSON backup before leaving or changing devices, then check the restored record. Preserve local settings backups where available.
A progress JSON resumes the activity. A readable PDF, TXT or HTML report supports assessment. Students open and check the readable report, upload it through the course LMS, and verify that system's submission receipt. Saving or exporting does not submit work to an instructor. No account is required to use this website.

These unchanged archives contain earlier hosted-workflow directions about online drafts, class codes, instructor controls or hosted submission. Those directions do not apply to this website. Use the corrected HTML guides for current setup, saving and submission. Print a current HTML guide if a current PDF is needed.
Frontiers_The_Overloaded_State_Reading_Packet.pdf is optional original source-reading material; no advance reading is required.

ASSESSMENT
A human instructor assesses analysis. Completion gates and factual checks record work; they do not establish learning or grade the argument. Preserve the six-criterion rubric and review evidence, mechanisms, comparisons, feasible decisions and limits.
