COURSE CONVENTIONS AND CONTENT Welcome to the section on the course conventions and content! I'll now brief you on the concepts and methods I will use to present the course material to you. There are twelve chapters in this course. Sometimes, I will divide larger chapters into smaller sub sections. At the start of each chapter, I will give a brief introduction about what topics the chapter will cover. Then, I will progress into the content. Near the end of every chapter, there will be a short quiz for you to test your understanding of the material I presented. The quizzes typically consist of ten questions. You will find the quiz material in your Follow Along PDF manual; I’ll explain more about that in a moment. In this course, you can take the quizzes and consult the answer keys to see how well you are retaining the material. Alternatively, I will dis Cuss the correct answers in the lectures. So, you can pause the audio, take the quiz, and then listen for the correct answers. Actually, you can take the quizzes as I read the questions to you, but this is a bit challenging. You won't have as much time to think of answers unless you pause the audio after each question and list of options. This is also not the way you'll take the actual exam, so you may want to choose another option if possible. Obviously, if you are driving to work, this latter option is your only option only safe option, anyway. To help you summarize and retain what you learn, I will end every chapter with a list of takeaways. This list will include the most important information to remember from each chapter. You can expect around ten important points at the end of each chapter. Earlier, I mentioned a Follow Along PDF manual. With every AudioLearn course, you get access to a Follow Along PDF manual. These manuals contain the chapter quizzes and answers, summaries of important information, and links to supplemental information. They also contain your final exam. This course contains a final exam that you can use as a practice exam for the real thing. It consists of one hundred questions and tests you on everything we cover in the course. You can print out the Follow along PDF manual or simply read it in digital format. I recommend using it to write additional comments and notes as you see fit, so print it out 3
