A study guide will be available for you on almost every lesson. It is recommended that you print the study guide, and complete it as you progress through the lesson.

The learning activities are comparable with class activities in a face to face class. You should start with the first activity and progress through them. Note, when you see "Task:" this is an activity that will not be turned in, but it will reinforce the learning activity. When an outside resource is needed, it will be linked to in the text. Simply click on it to complete the activity.
