You are working full time on this 5 week long course (not 4 hours a week for 10 months like a classroom+homework routine). The course requires 6 hours a day of work for 150 hours total.
Please note that Grade 6 and 7 review exercises will accompany each new Unit.
There is a daily vocabulary list to learn. This is a key component of the course. Each vocabulary word will have its definition in mouse over text as a way to identifying it for committal to your long term memory. You are responsible for looking up the definitions of vocabulary words yourself to help you learn their meanings. You should review all the vocabulary words every day.
There are daily quizzes, 15 tests, a mid-term exam and a final exam. These are designed to help you review what you recently learned and recall it a few days and then weeks later. Testing of this nature helps to move information into your long term memory so you never forget it.
Good Luck!
