<p>Note to Facilitator and Students: Each week&rsquo;s lesson content contains review questions for the lesson items.&nbsp; You can find these at the end of each lesson.&nbsp; The student will want to view and answer these questions as he or she proceeds with the lesson items.&nbsp; The course facilitator may assign some or all of the questions as well as questions found in the textbooks.</p>

<p>As you complete a lesson item, be sure to check the box in the upper left corner of the lesson item.</p>

<p>Also, the reading assignments are posted at the end of each week&rsquo;s lesson items, just before the review questions.&nbsp; The student will probably want to note these and begin reading at the start of each week.</p>
