Pacing

This is a self-paced course. Our advice is to pace yourself! 

A good strategy is to do one section at a time and take a break after each quiz or reflection activity.

Each course may contain a variety of activities. 

You can "print" book activities to use as a reference for a quiz or print for your reference.
