OBJECTIVE:
* To collect knowledge and learn important information that will serve as a shared database of knowledge.
* To obtain and retain the information included in tests and crossword puzzles so that you can apply it to course work.
* To store important information and expand both your knowledge base and cultural horizons.
SKILLS ACQUISITION:
* The first step of thinking about anything is to gain a working knowledge, learning important material by inputting information and then repeating it until you know it well enough to apply it easily and confidently!
* Online unit tests are designed to measure reading comprehension, so they are open book and open search. See calendar for availability dates.
