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
green text at the top of the page to determine what section
you are in. The other green buttons with white text listed
in this navigation bar indicate the course sections you can
access. On the left side of each page, you will see a navigation
bar listing the various pages 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 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.
