Print this guide and use a calendar to fill in your goal dates for completing each Module.
Post the pace guide in a place where you and your parent/guardian will see it every day
(on the refrigerator or next to the computer). Give yourself a check every time you
complete a task and celebrate your efforts!
Remember, you must complete at least one collaboration option activity for each segment
of the course.
Remember to take the segment exam the last week of the course!
Vacation
The course pace guide contains two floating vacation weeks. These weeks can be used as you
need them.


Taking time off from course work is an individual choice and is not required.
Please discuss your plans for taking time off with your instructor before you take the time
off.
Informing your instructor before using the time off will allow proper documentation of
your absence from the course. If you have any questions about the pace guides, don't
hesitate to talk to your instructor!
