    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 Knowledge Check or reflection activity.

    As you complete required activities in each section, the next section will unlock.

    This course may include "page," "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.
