How to use this course

As you go through the content, you will be presented with text, slideshow presentations, short videos, and embedded interactive activities. Each of these are important to your understanding of the material. It is not enough to just read the text or just click through the presentations. You must also take notes, repeat out loud, and complete the interactive activities. It may also be the case that new information is presented in the embedded activities.

Here are a few best practices:

Take notes
Spend the first few minutes of each period reviewing previous material
Listen and repeat
Practice the embedded activities multiple times
Look ahead on your syllabus and plan for assignments before they are due
