Each on-line lesson is associated with a chapter in the book. We recommend that you read each chapter before going to the on-line lesson, although you may want to take a look at the general notes and study questions before reading the chapter. These are questions that we think you should be able to answer after reading the chapter. Full answers to some questions may require additional research. You are invited to suggest additional study questions or to suggest better ways to word the existing study questions.
Nobody is required to send in their answers.
This is entirely self-paced. But those who do send in their answers may be able to get feedback from other students around the world. Some questions will ask about your own personal beliefs. Whether you share the answer with others or keep it to yourself, the goal is to find your own personal answer, an answer that individually fits the unique you. The same copyright and plagarism rules that apply in other class work applies here.
