Read—and use
consistently—the 1-page Course Schedule at the end of the Syllabus &
Schedule! The Course Schedule tells you when each assignments is due, including
when you should begin planning your work and when you must complete an
assignment to earn extra credit. Tip from a prior (and very successful) student: Print
the Course Schedule, hang it so you see it from your computer, and check off
each assignment as you do it.
Before you begin with the first Chapter, notice what
is in this Unit and in the
Course Schedule. You see:

The link to the
Study Guide for Unit 1’s two-part exam, with the date when its content is
visible
·
4 learning units

You also see a statement where you will see your Comparisons in this Unit on the date in the Course
Schedule. Tip:
This Unit has fewer Chapters than other Units because of these Comparisons.
