THE WORKBOOK
This self-instruction workbook has been designed to give you complete control over
your own learning. The material is broken into workable sections, each containing
everything you need to master the content. You can move through the workbook at
your own pace, and go back to review ideas that you didn't completely understand the
first time. Each unit contains:
Unit Objectives
which point out important elements in the
unit that you are expected to learn.
Text
which is the "heart" of the workbook. This
section explains the content in detail.
Key Terms
which also appear in the Glossary. They
appear in bold face the first time they appear
in the text.
Instructional
Mapping
terms or phrases in the left margin which
highlight significant points in the lesson.

Practice Exercises
and Progress
Checks
help you practice what you have learned and
check your progress. Appropriate questions
or problems are presented at
strategic places within the units and at the
end of each unit. You will not be graded
on these by anyone else; they are to help you
evaluate your progress. Each set of
questions is followed by an Answer Key.
If you have an incorrect answer, we
encourage you to review the corresponding
text and then try the question again.
In addition to these unit elements, the workbook includes the:
Glossary
which contains all of the key terms
used in the workbook.
Index
which helps you locate the glossary
item in the workbook.
