Overview
Readiness Checks and Sub Quizzes
Each topic starts with a “Readiness Check” to assess whether or not you need more practice with that topic. If you pass it, you can move on to another topic. If you don’t pass it, then a series of new sub quizzes will open up that break down the topic into smaller pieces. Once you pass all of those sub quizzes, the topic is marked as complete and you’ll receive a badge for that topic.
To see the badges you’ve earned, click on “More” and then “Badges” in the menu area. Your teacher may assign some or all of the modules for completion. To prove you completed specific topics, show your teacher your badges area.
To learn more about any of the topics, see the links under “Videos & Readings” at the top of the page.
