Course Outline

This page is an index to the content for the course. The course is divided into a series of modules and each module is further divided into a series of units. (You will see that units are divided again into lessons. Don't despair though–you will eventually reach content!)

The hyperlinks below under the heading Module will take you to a module page. The hyperlinks under the heading Unit will take you to a unit page. There is important information on both the module and unit pages. On most module pages you will find general information about the topic, an exam study guide, and other web resources. On most unit pages you will find an outline of the objectives and concepts for the unit, a unit self-check, and a unit assignment.
