Pacing
A good strategy is to do one section at a time and take a break after each Knowledge Check quiz.
As you complete required activities in each section, the next section will unlock.
This course includes "book" and "quiz" activities.
The quizzes include information from the preceding book. You can "print" the book to use as a reference for the quiz or print for your reference.
