This
online environment will take a bit more exploring than does a face-to-face
classroom the first time you walk into it. To get a sense of where you
are in this web site, read the text at the top of the page to determine
what section you are in. On the right side of each page, you will see
a navigation bar listing the other course sections you can access as well
as the various pages you can link to within a particular section.
To explore other sections
or the pages within a particular section, just click on the button with
the words of the section or page you wish to visit. You may also navigate
to other sections and pages within the course by clicking on the links
that are located at the bottom of each page.
