Passing the Course

Since this course is provided for informational purposes, quizzes are not required. It is recommended that students spend time outside of class reviewing their notes, completing the homework assignments, and applying the information presented in class. This will bring about the best possible results and will enable students to get the most from the class. Students who practice outside of class seem to learn and retain more than those who rely solely on classroom time for their learning and practice.
