Note: Once you begin a particular lesson we advise you to complete it in its entirety before closing your browser or shutting off your computer. Any answers you have entered for any of the quizzes or exercises in the course are not saved once your exit your browser or shut off your computer. Please also note that answers you mark or submit to any of the quizzes or textboxs throughout the course will not be saved if you go "backwards" in the course, i.e. if you mark an answer and then use the back button in your browser or you navigate backwards using one of the links in the tool bar. Because of this it is important for you to completely finish a quiz or activity before you leave the page on which it appears. Course Instructions: As you proceed through this course , you will be given reading or other assignments from the course text. These will be highlighted. The following is an example: "If you haven't already read pages 9-39 in your text, you should do so now." We suggest that you complete each assignment before proceeding to the next part of the course. Course Test: At the end of the course, there is a test that you will need to take and pass to receive your continuing education or academic credits. The cut-off score for successfully passing this test is XX%. This is a timed test, and you should not begin the test unless you will have time to complete it, as your answers will not be saved if you quit your browser or turn off your computer. Once you have begun the test, you must submit it within the allotted testing period. At the end of this period your test will automatically be submitted. The test will be graded online, and you will receive prompt feedback regarding your test score. If you pass the test you will be permitted to print out a certificate. If you do not pass the test, you may opt to pay a retesting fee and take the test again.
