Introduction
How to Complete the Lessons
For each lesson:
- Read the lesson’s objectives. They tell you what you’ll learn in the lesson.
- Read the lesson overview, which gives you a brief look at the lesson’s topics.
- Do the reading assignment in the textbook. You’re responsible for the material in the assigned textbook pages.
- Take “Checkpoint Quiz,” a short, ungraded self-test that will allow you to see how much you understood.
- Complete all of the assignments listed under “Assignment Instructions.” There are two types of assignments: written work and speeches. The written portion of the assignment usually consists of a set of study questions over the textbook reading. In addition, you may be asked to analyze speeches that you’ll view and listen to online. Put the answers to your written work in a Word document. The speech portion of the assignment asks you to create one or two speeches and record them on video. You may be asked to submit notes with some speech assignments. If so, put your notes in the Word document with the rest of your written work. See Video Submission Instructions for more information.
Important: Carefully read and follow all instructions for completing and submitting assignments. Remember, you will need to upload the videos and attach the Word document to complete the assignment.
