| This course is divided into seven chapters with a number of
topics within a chapter. Details of the content covered is available in the Content Outline. You can either navigate through the Study Route or through the Quiz Route or
a combination of both. Also, you can either go through the chapters in the given order, or
in any order that you like! If you feel confident about a particular topic, you don't even
have go through the study material - you can take the associated quiz. And don't worry if
you don't pass it on the first or even the second try... you can try it as many times as
you like - but certain restrictions apply. (There's nothing called a free lunch!) Study Route: Each chapter contains study material and
quizzes. The study material contains all the information required to attempt the quiz. So,
we recommend that you at least browse through it, if only to refresh your memory. Then you
can take the quiz.
The course will automatically bookmark the section last visited. So, if you are coming
back to this course after a break, you can go to directly where you had left last time.
Quiz Route: The quiz route takes you to all
quizzes, without going through the study material. But if a quiz has you stumped,
don't worry - you can go to associated section by clicking on the 'Quiz Route' button.
At any point of time in the course, you can switch from the Study Route to Quiz Route
and vice-versa.
Glossary: While taking the course, if you come across a term that is
unfamiliar, you can check it up in the built-in Glossary. If you are looking for a
list of recommended reading, look at the Bibliography.
Assignments: Each student is also required to prepare an
assignment and submit a report (100 to 250 words) on their assignment. The
instructor will evaluate this report. These reports may also be published on the web site.
