Carefully Read All of the Following!

Listed below are each of the seven self-instruction modules for MACH 2010. Each module contains a lecture, homework, web work, readings, and a project assignment. Modules will be released monthly and can be accessed once all activities for the previous module are complete.

At the outset of each module you will complete a pretest. The pretest must be completed before you can progress through the rest of the module. At the close of the module, you will complete a posttest followed by a brief evaluation of the module's content. Please be sure you have completed the pretest, posttest, and module evaluation before attempting to move on to the next module. You can work at your own pace and in the order that best suits your needs, but ALL work must be completed before you begin next module.

Before you start working on the first MACH 2010 module you must complete the Master Pretest. Similarly, before you can receive your certificate of course completion (at the end of the course) you must take the Master Posttest. The master tests are largely similar in format to the module tests (i.e., 10 questions, multiple choice,...) except that they are ungraded and do not contribute to your course mark. The Master Pretest can be accessed by selecting the link marked "Master Pretest". Access to the Master Posttest will be restricted until the class has begun the last course module.
