The discussions will guide you through the information, materials, and activities that will help you achieve the objectives for the lesson. The lesson assignments are labeled as “Assignment 1.1”, “Assignment 1.2”, and so on. Lesson assignments will contain objective, short-answer, and essay questions and can only be completed once.
