The course is made up of 1185 frames. The most numerous are the instructional frames. On a single page there will be many instructional frames. At times, a page will contain an entire subsection.

All frames contain links to allow you to the next frame. To move backwards, through your previously viewed frames, use your browser's "BACK" button.

Here is a typical instructional frame:

FRAME: 014 <- the frame's number

A chunk of information.

A question, which if you can answer correctly, indicates you have understood the information. Most types of questions will be familiar to you: multiple choice, fill-in-the blanks, complete the phrase, match items in column "A" to those in column "B". Note: multiple choice questions may have more than one correct answer. In the case of long questions and those involving drawn answers, you will be given the option to print the frame so you can more easily work on your answer.
