Outline for This Course

narrator notes

The course contains six modules, as well as the Course Overview and Instructions and Course Wrap-Up. Each module is separate, so all the modules do not have to be taken at once. The modules should be taken in numerical order because the material in each module builds on what is learned in the previous modules.
