1. This course is composed of 20 units/chapters. Each unit has four sections: Reading Assignment, Interactive Exercises, Reading Comprehensive Quiz and a Unit Exam.
2. Each unit/chapter has a Reading Assignment. The course is designed with learning objectives so as the student goes through the Reading Assignment, the student knows what the objectives are.
3. Every Reading Comprehension Quiz needs to be completed with a score of 100. Each Unit Exam Quiz needs to be completed with a minimum score of 90%. This is the most important part of the course, because as the student works through these modules it demonstrates mastery of the course.
4. A student can move onto the next unit without passing the previous one but, the student will not be able to access the final exam until everything is complete and passed.
5. The only portion of the On-Line course that is actually timed is the final exam.
