(b) A "self-study course" means a form of
				systematic learning performed at a licensee's residence, office, or other

				tests that are completed by the licensee, submitted to the provider, graded,
				and returned to the licensee with correct answers and an explanation of why the
				answer chosen by the provider was the correct answer). A self-study course does

				period that spans from a license's expiration date to the licensee's next
				expiration date.

				"operational plan" means a detailed, written description which contains
				information that explains how the provider intends to conduct business,
				advertise its courses, provide educational services, and meet the minimum

				same meaning and effect as the term "continuing education" when interpreting
