COURSE CONVENTIONS AND CONTENT Welcome to the section on the course conventions and content! I will now brief you on the concepts and methods I will use to present the course material to you. There are twelve chapters in this course. Sometimes, I will divide larger chapters into smaller sections. At the start of each chapter, I will give a brief introduction about what the chapter will include. Then, I will progress into the content. Near the end of every chapter, there will be a short quiz for you to test your knowledge. The quizzes typically consist of ten questions. You will find the quiz material in the Follow Along PDF Manual; I’ll explain more about that in a moment. I encourage you to take the quizzes and consult the answer key to see how well you are retaining the course material. Alternatively, I will discuss the correct answers in the lectures. So, you can pause the audio, take the quiz, and then listen for the correct answers. If you feel really bold, take the quizzes as I read off the questions. This is a more challenging option because you will have less time to answer questions unless you pause the audio. On top of that, you will be reading questions on your real exam. It's best to get into that habit right from the outset. So, it's best to read and answer the questions and then listen as I give answers and explanations. To help you effectively summarize and retain what you learn, I will end every chapter with a list of takeaways. This list will summarize the most important information from each chapter. You can expect around ten on each list. Earlier, I mentioned a Follow Along PDF Manual. With every AudioLearn course, you get access to our signature study guide: our Follow Along PDF Manual. These manuals contain the chapter quizzes and answers, summaries of important information, and links to supplemental information. They also contain your final exam. This course contains a final exam that you can use as a practice test for the real thing. It consists of one hundred questions and tests you on everything I will cover in this course. You can print out the PDF manual or simply read it in its digital format. I recommend printing the manual and using it to write additional comments and notes as you see fit. However, if you are not able to read the Follow Along PDF Manual, you can ignore it
