I recommend that you print each of the above instructional activities and place them in a three-ring binder under the heading Module 5. This will provide access should the hyperlinks change or if you prefer to highlight sections for later review.
Assessment - once you have reviewed, become familiar with, and completed each section of the instructional activities, e-mail, jamess@latech.edu, the following "I have successfully completed Module 5." Be sure you enter your name in case you are not using your La Tech e-mail address. Thanks, James Smith.
