There will be a balance of lecture and demonstration throughout the course. The course is comprised of the following learning styles: 1. Weekly Module Reading Assignments 2. Daily Lectures Covering Module Material 3. Weekly Hands-On Lab Assignments Covering Module Material 4. Weekly Review Lectures 5. Weekly Test Assessments The course presentation is designed to continually reinforce the material covered each week on approximately a module per week schedule. First there is a daily lecture covering the material in the module and paced with the reading and homework assignments. Second, the students independently read the material as a first pass at selflearning the material.
