STUDY EACH WEEK'S ASSIGNMENTS
The primary course content comes from the readings. The videotape programs are intended to emphasize and illustrate the reading material. You are tested on information from both the readings and video programs. If, for any reason, you miss watching a video program during the assigned week, you should still keep current with your reading assignments.
Work on the lessons in the following order:
-
Read the Study Guide
for each video program before viewing the program. The Study Guide has a special summary termed "Overview." Read this "Overview" very carefully and go over the specific terminology listed under the section "Vocabulary Check."
-
Read the textbook assignments,
which are related to the particular video program, under the title, "Before Viewing the Program." You will not read the text in exact sequence, but don't let that bother you.
-
Now watch the video program.
Don't take notes while viewing your video program!
-
Briefly review the materials of that particular video program
in the Study Guide and Textbook once more. Test yourself with the questions in the "Self-Test" section of the Study Guide.
