When you are ready, take the Module quiz. Remember you have one attempt, and it is not timed. You can drop your two lowest quiz scores throughout the semester.
Participate in the discussion post and post two replies. Remember to review the grading rubric in the syllabus. Like the quizzes, you can drop your two lowest discussion scores throughout the semester.

Plan ahead and get everything down by mid-week if possible so as not to miss the deadlines.

Remember, once the assignment deadline passes, those assignments will not be reopened (please review the lowest score drop policies mentioned above and detailed in the course syllabus.)

Enjoy and learn something new!
